Remote Working And Its Benefits

Remote working has become a way of life in the UK and worldwide post-pandemic. The COVID epidemic was a challenging, life-changing event that everyone has experienced. Most can agree that it negatively impacted us in one way or the other. However, most can say that a few positives have come from this, for example, new hobbies, business ideas and the chance to work from home.

Working remotely has given many people hours of their time back that they are now free to use to their advantage. For example, most spent 2-3 hours commuting to and from work daily, meaning they would likely leave their homes at 7 am and arrive home almost 12 hours later. This left little time for leisure after work on top of household chores, cooking dinner and simply winding down for the following day. Being able to switch off and instantly step away from work and straight into your free time has become a blessing most have become accustomed to. Besides gaining this time back, others have noted that they have been able to work more productively at home and that their social lives have improved massively!

As people, investing time back into ourselves, family and friends is super important and is a significant factor in creating a positive impact on our mental well-being. You don’t want to feel as though you are living to work, and a healthy work-life balance is born with the opportunity to work remotely. Now you are working from home, making plans after work can come back in full force. After a stressful day at work, you might want to consider plans such as; going to the cinema, shopping, a body-to-body massage, a walk in the park, or heading to the pub for a bite to eat. All of which you can now fit into your schedule.

Here’s A Guide To Things To Do In London After Work:

Secret Cinema

Fancy catching a movie but with a twist? The secret cinema is the perfect way to turn a simple cinema trip into an immersive experience. Become your favourite character, and enter the said film’s universe created by a room full of actors that effortlessly bring the story to life. Be sure to get involved and give yourself to the activity, and we promise it’ll pay off in the end. Then, sit back and relax with delicious food and drinks whilst the film is showcased. Turning an everyday outing into an experience to remember.

Get Active With Rockclimbing

Rockclimbing is a great activity to release any extra energy and an excellent exercise form. Get yourself out of the house and to the nearest climbing station, and watch as all those happy endorphins are released after a long day at work. You could either go by yourself or with a friend, to make it a little more competitive. Finishing your day with a sport is encouraged, as it could turn a bad day into a rewarding and positive one.

Body To Body Massage

Who doesn’t love a massage? But perhaps this time, you could try one that isn’t quite what you’d typically expect. Whilst most massages focus on using the hands and forearms to relieve tension, the body-to-body massage supplied by talented Tantric masseuses use their whole body. These massages are best performed nude with plenty of high-quality massage oils. It works to stimulate the skin and muscle in your body whilst engaging you with your inner sensuality, spirituality and sexuality.

Dinner In The Park With The Sunset

As we enjoy the warmth of the summer sun, we should make the most of it where we can (especially in London). Take a walk in the park and enjoy a bite to eat under the evening summer breeze whilst waiting for the sun to set. This is a peaceful thing to do and a space where you can clear your mind and stay in tune with yourself after a busy day at work. Whether you take something to eat from home or pick something up on the way, enjoy your food sat amongst nature and slow yourself back down for the remainder of your evening.

Conclusion

Allowing yourself to have downtime after work can benefit you in many ways and make your working day more productive and enjoyable. Whether you like to use your time to relax at home or indulge in leisurely activities, just remember to take these breaks where possible. Invest your time back into yourself, and you’ll only see the best results! So try something new or jump back into a routine of doing those you loved; you deserve it.
