The time has finally come, we're back on site next week for our first event of the summer!

‍

In honour of Mental Health Awareness Week, we've taken extra care to plan for prioritising our wellbeing before the long days and late nights begin.

‍

‍

Here are our top 10 tips for maintaining mental wellbeing on site:

‍

1. Create a Comfortable Workspace: Ensure your workspace is ergonomic and comfortable. A well-organised, clean, and personalised space can reduce stress and improve productivity.

‍

2. Set Boundaries and Take Breaks: It's important to set clear boundaries to avoid burnout. Schedule regular breaks throughout the day to rest and recharge. Even a few minutes away from your desk can make a big difference.

‍

3. Stay Connected with Loved Ones: Make time to check in with friends and family. A quick call or message can provide emotional support and help you feel connected, even when you're busy.

‍

4. Make Sure You Stop to Eat: We know deadlines can be tight, but it's crucial to take breaks for meals to keep your energy levels up.

‍

5. Look Out For One Another: Sharing is caring, and people get you through tough times.

‍

6. Go on Wellness Walks: Taking short walks can be a great way to clear your mind and reduce stress.

‍

7. Stay Hydrated: Keep a water bottle with you and make sure you're drinking enough water throughout the day. Staying hydrated can improve concentration and overall wellbeing.

‍

8. Engage in Physical Activity: Incorporate some form of exercise into your daily routine, whether it's a quick workout, stretching, or a short walk. Physical activity is a great way to boost your mood and energy levels.

‍

9. Limit Caffeine and Sugar Intake: While it might be tempting to rely on coffee or sugary snacks for energy, try to limit these as they can lead to crashes and affect your mood. Opt for healthier snacks and balanced meals instead.

‍

10. Seek Professional Support if Needed: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. Organisations such as Music Support are here to provide help and support to people who work in music and live events affected by mental ill-health and/or addiction, promoting early intervention and offering support services. You are not alone.

Let's work hard this summer to take care of ourselves, and each other!
