Eating for energy – It’s so easy to do…..grab a biscuit with your coffee, get a fatty sandwich from the deli. Did you know what you eat really does impact on your energy levels, your mood and your ability to concentrate? There are loads of websites, books and magazines, packed full of healthy eating ideas and plans. Make your lunch the night before and surround yourself with healthy snacks and it’ll be much easier to say no to that piece of birthday cake and the snack van! Making changes to your diet will help you benefit from increased energy and concentration – both of which are vital at work. And you may drop a few pounds!

Think positive - Did you know thinking positively can help your confidence and performance at work? If you’re feeling negative and de-motivated, talk to yourself positively. Say to yourself, "I'm good at this", "I can achieve this", "I'm doing really well", Don't wait for someone else to tell you this; you can tell yourself anytime. Make sure you congratulate yourself when you've done something well. A "Well done, me" can have a huge effect on your mental well being.

Be active – it’s good for us – right? But sometimes it’s hard to fit exercise into a busy lifestyle. Exercise really makes a difference to your well-being – not only to your weight, but to your ability to concentrate, your attitude, and energy levels. Making small changes to your daily routine is an easy way to increase your level of physical activity. Why not try taking the stairs rather than the lift, walking to a colleague’s desk rather than calling them or taking a brisk walk at lunchtime? Don’t forget, you’re drinking more water, so you’ll need more toilet breaks too!

Take a break - or three! No matter how busy you are at work, you should always make time for a lunch break. Even if it’s just a quick half hour. And ideally you should be taking 5 minutes away from your desk mid morning and mid afternoon. Taking a break is essential to your well-being at work. You’ll reduce stress, and feel better able to concentrate and do your job efficiently when you return from your break. Ideally, try and get some fresh air ….it’ll make a real difference.
