Are you primarily working indoors, with limited access to natural light, or generally longing for more daylight? Here are a few steps you can take to adjust your space and bring in the benefits of natural light to your nervous system, circadian rhythm, immune system, and more:
- Equip your workspace with a desk lamp fitted with a full-spectrum bulb to simulate natural light indoors.
- If resources allow you to take step #1 a step further, consider investing in a light therapy device that mimics natural sunlight. This can be particularly helpful in addressing the effects of limited daylight exposure during darker months.
- Incorporate plants into your workspace to not only add a touch of nature but also improve air quality and enhance the overall ambiance. Freshly cut flowers on your desk can work magic too!
- Make it a habit to take short breaks throughout the day outside. Find a nearby park or even a small green space to recharge amidst nature. Even spending time near windows, looking out, can make a difference.
- During your break near a window or in outdoor spaces, engage in mindfulness or meditation exercises to deepen the connection with natural surroundings and further reset your whole system.
💫 Remember to engage in any wellbeing practices without self-judgment!.
