The plan

Every month for the next year, the #360me team will be sharing our baby-steps approach to leading a healthier, happier life - expert-endorsed and real-life approved. This month, there are 21 ways to embrace joy this summer.

#360me

To feel your best, you have to consider the health of not just your BODY and GUT, but your MIND and SPIRIT too – this is holistic health in action. To help you, we’ve split all the advice in the plan into these four sections and, by spending a similar amount of time on each, you’ll be looking after your ‘self’ in a truly holistic way. Dip in and try one thing from each section. Or dive in and do it all. It’s here for you – to inspire, support and motivate. Share your journey with us @psydirector and we’ll share ours too.

OFFICE WORKOUT

Hollie Grant shares her tips for counteracting the effects of a sedentary job

Set an alarm

When working at a desk all day, it’s easy to not notice that you haven’t moved for hours. Set an alarm to go off every hour and stand up or move around.

Do desk downdog

Stand up with your feet hip-distance apart and about two feet away from your desk. Put your hands on your desk and, with straight legs, fold forwards and bring your nose towards the floor, effectively folding your body in half. This will stretch out the back of your legs, across your chest and your back.
