Wellbeing hack: Staying cool in the heat

This month’s book is The 5am Club by Robin Sharma. I actually read this book on holiday last month and found it such a great read. The structure it gives you to set up your day is brilliant. I have to confess I’m not a morning person but by adding these tips into your day it gives you so much more energy and focus.

This month’s wellbeing tips are brought to you by Paul Stirk…

It’s important to look after yourself during the hot weather, so I’ve gathered some tips to help you do just that (fingers crossed the sunshine continues!)

• Keep well hydrated during these hot spells and drink cold water regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty • Try and create some air flow in your working space (invest in a fan, or open a door or window, etc…) • Where possible place a damp/wet small towel around the back of your neck to help reduce your body temperature • Do not exercise in extreme hot temperatures – this puts more stress/strain on your body and can be dangerous • Think about booking some time/meetings in T2. Not only does this get you away from the same four walls at home, but it’s great to meet people that you haven't seen for a while… Plus, our head offices have air con (heaven sent!)

If you have already read it, then we would love to hear from you. If you haven’t yet, we recommend grabbing

yourself a copy! If you manage to take some

photos of you taking some time out to read, we’d also love to see them to feature in next month’s edition of The Bottom Line.
