-Walk to work-
Something I’ve worked on with clients is establishing boundaries around working from home. There are many great ways to help with this, and I’ve found “Walking to Work” really useful. I’m usually met with a puzzled face when I suggest walking to work, and the standard reply is, “but I work from home, Noel”. This is precisely my point. It’s about changing the way we see our home during working hours. Let says you usually work the standard 9 am to 5 pm. Well, how about you leave the house at 8:30 and walk to work. That building you left at 8:30 am was your home, but when you arrive back at 9 am, it is now your work building. When you go inside, there’s no pottering around or putting on a quick wash. Head straight to your designated workspace and set about you’re pre-set work plan. Take your standard breaks during the day, and at 5 pm, we pack away our work and leave the work building to walk home again. It’s a great way to establish boundaries and gives us time to leave work at work to be fully present at home.

Give it a try, and let me know how it goes.

Sometimes our minds can be our own worst enemy telling us we can't do things. That's ok though because that same mind can be helped and realise WE CAN DO IT. How about we practice imagining things we'd like to do but through the lens of, I CAN DO IT!! 👍👍👍
