At the end of a working day, when we shut down the tabs on all of our devices, we should shut down the tabs in our heads too. Five ways to do this:
1) Savour an indulgence
2) Mindful breathing
3) Share a compliment
4) Get some fresh, outdoor air
5) Practice gratitude

Belonging at work really matters. Employees with a strong sense of belonging outperform others on almost every metric, from engagement & retention to performance & wellbeing. Good leadership supports belonging: People with an effective manager are 6X more likely to feel this sense of belonging. Six ways to gauge belonging at work based on research:
1) Overall sense of belonging: I feel a strong sense of belonging at my organisation
2) Welcomed: I feel warmly welcomed at in my organisation (first day, new team, new role)
3) Known: I feel known as an individual at work
4) Included: I feel included at work (can be myself, my opinions are valued, can respectfully disagree)
5) Supported: I am supported at work in achieving my personal & professional development goals
6) Connected: I feel a strong connection with peers and colleagues

I recently started lunch time walks every Monday with my team @HBKidsHospital. We call them Monday Movement breaks, nothing special but we all enjoy the fresh air, exercise and team building opportunity .
A systematic review of research on workplace breaks shows that:
1) Regular micro breaks can be better than longer breaks
2) Outdoor breaks & fresh air are better than indoor breaks
3) Scrolling social media is the most common break type but it creates emotional exhaustion
4) Spending a break with a furry companion is beneficial
