"Happy, healthy, and Sane”

Working out is essential for my sanity. It feels fantastic to switch off my mind and work up a sweat.

Initially, I struggled to find the motivation to exercise at home because work was always present and often took precedence. A quick email would turn into hours on the computer, and various tasks would pop up throughout the day, causing exercise to be pushed aside.

I have now scheduled my workouts for at least five to six times a week, first thing in the morning, for 20 minutes. While I prefer to work out for 30 minutes, I'm being realistic, and it's better to do something than nothing at all. I set my alarm for 20 minutes and enjoy moving my body. As long as I press play, I never regret it!

Staying healthy is very important to me, and the fridge has never been so close and easily accessible as it is when working from home. I can quickly fall into the trap of eating unhealthy chips and chocolate all day, but preparation is the key to eating healthy.  

I am a huge fan of making a big dish of veggies and a protein (meat, beans, chickpeas, lentils) in a yummy sauce, whatever I fancy. Then, when I am ready to eat, I can heat it and have it on its own or add quinoa, potatoes, pasta, rice, wilted spinach or a fried egg (my favourite). This way, it’s quick but tastes different each time. 

Snacks are essential when staring at the computer blankly and need a boost. My go-to snacks are hummus, snap peas, crackers, cream cheese, almonds, and berries. Also, I am English, so a good cup of tea will solve almost anything, except when I do not want to do something. 

I set aside a specific day or afternoon to engage in Non-Untamed activities. I organize everything on my to-do list, then switch off and never regret it. I enjoy getting outside for a walk, bike ride, snowboarding, picnic, or tea and cake—anything that allows me to look around and smile.
