Here is a four-step recipe for managing stress while working from home

For over a year now, many people have been cooped up at home, juggling the responsibilities of home and work. Without a clear line between the two, life at home could get overwhelming and stressful. Don’t let stress take over your days.

 

Here is a four-step recipe for managing stress while working from home.

 

Maintain a routine

 

A routine helps you manage your time for work and your family. Start by setting a schedule for your main tasks for the day. This will help you establish a rhythm that works best for you, and let you identify and get rid of what doesn’t work. A routine also serves as a reminder that you are still in control of your life and whatever happens in it, regardless of how many last-minute requests and changes come in between. 

 

What should a routine look like? It’s as simple as having a warm cup of coffee and getting dressed in the morning. Doing either of these two, or even both, can be the first step in creating a structure in your days.

 

Prioritize taking a break

 

Back-to-back virtual meetings can be draining. The so-called Zoom fatigue is real, and it can impact your motivation to work while at home. Apart from virtual meetings, tasks tend to pile up in no time, just like before the pandemic. So, take a break.

 

It may be easier said than done, but you need to take a break from your screen, and that includes your phone -- even just a 10-minute break could help. Or try setting aside merienda every day. In doing so, this allows you a momentary breather from the busy schedule, step away from stress, and gather your thoughts.

Move around

 

Exercise has always been helpful in keeping you alert, stress-free, and healthy. Keep moving to keep going every day. A 10-minute yoga routine, a 15-minute run, or a 30-minute workout -- any of these things can help you lower stress levels, and prevent eye strain, stiffness of the muscles, and even headaches.

 

Try any activity that lets you keep your body moving and helps your mind drift away from negative vibes. What matters is you’re up on your feet.

 

Eat healthy

 

Keeping a healthy diet should always be a top priority. Don’t let stress or WFH fatigue get the best of you and your health. Of course, maintaining a healthy diet is easier said than done. But you can start by eating by taking vibrant and colorful meals to get the important nutrients that keep you strong and healthy.

 

What matters today is consuming food that boosts your immunity, just like the C2 Plus Immuno-C, an orange-flavored drink that combines the power of Vitamin C and Zinc to help strengthen the body’s immune defenses. 

 

Keep the stress levels at bay by staying awake, alert, healthy, and on top of your WFH game. Boost your immune system and grab C2 Plus Immuno-C at the Go Robinsons website from the safety of your home.

Celebrating the taste--and feel of Christmas with C2 Cool and Clean

I have been an iced tea advocate for over a decade now, and I like it natural, with a slightly tinge of fruity sweetness with the combined bitterness and leafy taste of tea.  Cuddling that C2 bottle in hand (whether its green, red, orange, etc) guarantees a refreshing good time for anyone as it perfectly complements any kind of meal, just like a loyal partner who is always there, and would never leave
you.

For nearly a decade, C2 Cool and Clean has become part of the Filipino dining table for almost any celebration-- from the simplest office merienda get together with friends to grand family reunions, and of course during Christmas gatherings. 

Joining in this year's holiday festivities, C2 Cool and Clean, the country’s leading ready-to- drink green tea beverage, launched the first ever C2 Sarap ng Christmas Tree-Making Contest.

Through this event, the brand aims to bring a relevant and memorable Christmas experience to the young and young-at-heart.

With over P200,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, schools from all over the metro were invited to build beautiful Christmas trees out of hundreds of C2 bottles in less than a month. Christmas tree entries were eventually narrowed down to 10 finalists, from which three will emerge on top. Entries will be judged based on the following criteria: adherence to the C2 Sarap ng Christmas theme (40%); creative execution (30%) and technical execution (30%).  The 2nd Runner Up shall receive P25,000 cash prize and an endowment of P15,000 to the school; the 1st Runner Up shall receive P50,000 cash prize and an endowment of P25,000 to the school; and the grand prize winner shall receive P75,000 cash and P30,000 endowment to the school. All 10 finalists also received generous Christmas gift packs.

For its complete Noche Buena setup to complement its Christmas tree creation, NCBA Fairview Hotel and Restaurant Management Society won the grand prize bringing home P100,000 total prize, the Philippine Women's University University Student Choir won second place while the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila Supreme Student Council came in third.

 “C2 has always been at the forefront of supporting the youth and encouraging them to adopt a healthy lifestyle,” said Vice-President and General Manager for URC Beverage Division, Edwin Totanes. “Through the C2 Christmas Tree Making Contest, we hope to showcase the artistic talent of these young students and at the same time remind them that a healthy mind and body is the best gift you can give yourself this Holiday Season” he added.

Celebrate a healthier and more delicious new year by making C2 your beverage of choice this holiday season. Create even more special memories with its latest variants, Red Tea and Iced Tea, which are flavors that best complement your favorite Christmas meals. Kapag may C2, Sarap ng Christmas!
