In today’s fast-paced, always-connected world, the lines between work and personal life have blurred, especially for those working from home. Endless Zoom meetings, constant emails, and the pressures of balancing home and work can leave you feeling drained and overwhelmed. It's crucial to carve out moments of stillness to recharge and maintain your well-being. 

We compiled our top WFH tips to help reclaim those precious moments of calm, and created this ultimate guide to help the By Sarah community.

Establish a routine

Creating a structured routine can help you balance work and personal time more effectively. Start your day with a morning ritual that sets a positive tone, such as stretching, meditating, or enjoying a quiet cup of tea. 

After a long day of virtual meetings, give your eyes a break from screens. Engage in activities that don’t involve digital devices, such as reading a book, going for a walk, or practicing a hobby. Limiting screen time in the evening can also improve your sleep quality, helping you feel more rested and rejuvenated.

Setting clear boundaries for your work hours can also prevent burnout and ensure you have time to relax and unwind.

Take regular breaks

Working from home often means sitting in front of your computer for extended periods. Schedule regular breaks throughout your day to step away from your screen. Use these breaks to move your body, breathe deeply, or simply sit quietly and let your mind rest.

Spending time in nature is a powerful way to reclaim stillness and reduce stress. If possible, take your breaks outside, go for a walk in a nearby park, or simply sit in your garden. Connecting with nature can help you feel more grounded and provide a much-needed escape from the demands of work.

Even a few minutes of stillness can make a significant difference in your overall wellbeing.

Create a calm workspace

Your environment plays a crucial role in your mental and emotional state. Create a dedicated workspace that is clutter-free and calming. Personalise it with items that bring you joy, such as plants, photos, or calming scents. Our favourite idea is framing our By Sarah personalised tissue paper - so beautiful, it deserves to be proudly on display. 

Incorporate a skincare ritual

Incorporating skincare rituals into your daily routine can provide moments of stillness and self care. Our award-winning skincare collection is perfect for this, so here's our favourite ways to use them to create a calming routine for anytime of day:

1. Hero Facial Oil
   Start and end your day with a few drops of our cult-favourite Hero Facial Oil. This nourishing facial oil is dermatologically approved for sensitive skin and is rich in essential fatty acids to provide a radiant glow whilst protecting your skin's barrier. Gently massage it into your face and neck using upward circular motions to nourish the skin whilst providing a moment of relaxation and mindfulness.
2. Saviour Moisture Mask
   Sometimes our skin needs a little extra TLC after a long day of working at our desks. We love treating our skin to the Saviour Moisture Mask, a deeply hydrating mask, formulated with hyaluronic acid, that helps restore the skin's moisture balance, leaving it feeling soft and rejuvenated. The best part? Our mask is so gentle to the skin, you can use it as often as you want. Pamper session every night anyone?
3. Reviver Hydrating Mist
   Skin feeling a little lacklustre after back-to-back meetings? Keep the Reviver Hydrating Mist at your desk for a quick refresh throughout the day. A few spritzes can instantly hydrate your skin whilst balancing your skin's microbiome thanks to prebiotic inulin. Perfect for a skin pick-me-up.

 

Reclaiming moments of stillness while working from home is essential for maintaining your wellbeing. By establishing a routine, taking regular breaks, creating a calm workspace, and incorporating skincare rituals with our sustainable skincare collection, you can find balance and rejuvenate your mind and body so you're ready to face the day.
