Happy Labor Day, Superfood Swappers!
Try these HEALTHY HACKS to add more wellness to your WORKSPACE:
1. THE MAGIC CARPET RIDE
Try DESKERCISING to energize your workday. Example: Sit in your chair w/ your legs crossed & your feet on the seat. Place your hands on the armrests & raise yourself a few inches above the seat, using your belly muscles & hands. Hold for 10-20 sec. Rest & repeat.
2. GOOD VIBES COLORING BOOK
Give yourself a 5-minute brain break. Color these cheerful images to de-stress, generate good feelings, and radiate positive energy.
3. BENTGO BOX

4. GREEN TEA
Try matcha green tea as an afternoon treat instead of PM coffee. It has 1/2 the caffeine of coffee & contains L-Theanine, an amino acid that helps keep you focused & alert.
5. MOTIVATIONAL MUG
Surround yourself w/ positive messages to keep your vibes high: “Today will be awesome”!
6. CINNAMON GARBANZO BEANS
Avoid the free office donuts when morning munchies set-in. Instead stash sweet cinnamon garbanzo beans at your desk. Love these.
7. LEMON-SCENTED HAND LOTION
Apply lemon-scented hand lotion. Citrus scents stimulate alertness that will allow you to deliver your A-game.
8. GREEN PLANTS
Working in the presence of plants can increase memory retention up to 20 percent. Woah. What are you waiting for? Get these plants in your office, stat.
9. BLUE WALLPAPER
Decorate your cubicle w/ blue hues to boost creativity & decrease workplace munchies. I love this easy peel & stick removable stuff.
10. *BONUS* CASUAL CLOTHES
Drop: Pencil skirt. Swap: Skinny jeans.
One study found that workers who wore more casual clothes took 491 more steps & burned 25 more calories daily than those in business attire.
