It’s no secret that spending time outside can reap benefits for your mental health. Regardless if we’re in the office or working from home, the WSA team takes quick breaks regularly to “get up and get out.” We find when we take a stroll around the block, or practice a 10 minute mindfulness routine outside, we feel less stressed and more focused when we return to work.
Below are a few resources to get you up and out! Check our Facebook page for more resources in the coming days.
