We believe everyone should experience the power of aromatherapy for the wellbeing of their body, mind and soul, and this doesn’t just take place in the home. Most people spend most days at work, so workplace wellness is something that’s always on our minds. That’s why we’ve created a workplace wellness plan for you to take with you when you return to the office, complete with aromatherapy, actions and affirmations to help you thrive throughout your office hours.
What is workplace wellness?
Usually, workplace wellness, or corporate wellness, is a broad term that describes the activities and initiatives a company has in place to care for its employees. We believe workplace wellness also exists at an individual level, in the things you do throughout the workweek to keep your energy levels up, mood balanced, and mind focused.
Why should I care?
You should care about your workplace wellbeing because there’s a huge pile of research that points to unhealthy stress levels in the workplace. According to Wellspace,
- 41% of workers say that stress makes them less productive
- 33% say it makes them less engaged
- 15% report looking for a new job because of stress
And that’s just a couple of their many findings!
What should I do?
Fortunately, more and more employers are taking steps to put workplace wellbeing activities and initiatives in place. That said, you still need to look out for yourself and find ways to stay focused at work and calm in stressful situations. By doing so, you might even inspire others to do the same and create an all-round better environment to work in.
Here are some office wellness ideas to get you started…
Your workplace wellness plan
- Clear your mind
Aromatherapy: If you’re able to bring it to your workplace, set up your Aroma Spa Diffuser with a couple of drops of Mind Clear Diffuser Oil. The cooling blend of Peppermint, Lavender and Lemon essential oils is sure to sharpen the mind.
Can’t bring your diffuser? No problem, apply our Mind Clear Pulse Point Roller instead.
Action: Mindfulness is a well-studied way to clear the mind, and focused attention meditation is the perfect way to put it into practice. Soften your gaze and become aware of your body. Focus on your breathing, keeping it long and slow, and notice the depth and length of each inhale and exhale.
Affirmation: Today clear my mind of any old thoughts. I am open to a new and wonderful work day.
- Find your flow
Aromatherpy: Before you set off on your commute, pack your Little Box of Motivation. The 3 enlivening pulse point roller balls will be there to say ‘You’ve got this’, as you keep your head down and crack on throughout the day.
The set contains:
- Happy Vibes Roller Ball – Lemon Tea Tree, Bergamot and Nutmeg
- Find Focus Roller Ball – Rosemary, Grapefruit and Orange Leaf
- Energy Boost Roller Ball – Orange, Lime and Grapefruit
Action: time-block your day so you can cut out distractions and truly find your flow, one task at a time.
Affirmation: I work with flow, not force. My job comes naturally to me.
- Keep cool and calm
Aromatherapy: is the stress getting to you? Take a short break and refresh with our Real Calm MoodFix Mist. The relaxing blend of Lavender, Bergamot and Patchouli 100% natural pure essential oils, will help you find your inner peace, even when the external world keeps throwing things your way.
Did you know 98% of people in our survey found it easier to feel calm with the Real Calm MoodFix Mist
Action: once you’ve spritzed your space, take a moment to practice calming yogic breathing. Roll back your shoulders and place one hand on your heart, and one on your belly. Breathe in deeply through your nose and feel your belly fill up with air. Exhale slowly through your mouth, making a sighing noise if you wish, and feel your stomach empty again.
Affirmation: I am calm. I am confident. I am in control.
We hope this workplace wellness plan works for you. Don’t forget to share it around the office, and let us know in the comments how many colleagues you get to join.
