With this in mind, try to do something different today and make a connection.
Here are a few ideas:
Talk to someone instead of sending an email
Speak to someone new
Ask how someone’s weekend was and really listen when they tell you
Put five minutes aside to find out how someone really is
Today, why not get physical?
Here are a few ideas:
Take the stairs not the lift
Go for a walk at lunchtime
Walk into work - perhaps with a colleague – so you can ‘connect’ as well
Get off the bus one stop earlier than usual and walk the final part of your journey to work
Organise a work sporting activity
Have a kick-about in a local park
Do some ‘easy exercise’, like stretching, before you leave for work in the morning
Walk to someone’s desk instead of calling or emailing.
Here are a few ideas:
Get a plant for your workspace
Have a ‘clear the clutter’ day
Take notice of how your colleagues are feeling or acting
Take a different route on your journey to or from work
Visit a new place for lunch
In what ways have you given to others recently?
Here are a few ideas:
Give your time to listen to a family member, friend or collegue
Donate to charity
Show an act of kindness towards someone else. e.g offering to help out, give a compliment. See the Kindness Calendar below for more ideas.
Give back to your community by volunteering
Why not learn something new today?
Here are a few ideas:
Find out something about your colleagues
Sign up for a class
Read the news or a book
Set up a book club
Do a crossword or Sudoku
Research something you’ve always wondered about
Learn a new skill/ get new hobby e.g a sport, instrument or crafts
