From Oswego Health Wellness at Work Due to the effects of COVID-19, the Oswego Health Foundation Business Relations Committee feels it is especially important to regularly practice self-care and take time to keep ourselves healthy. Our committee is reaching out to you as a organization leader in hopes of you utilizing this information by sharing it with your staff. We will continue to share simple ways for you and your employees to boost wellness while at work. We hope these ...tips are beneficial and help to relieve some of the stress that you maybe experiencing during this ongoing difficult time. A Deep Breathing Exercise This exercise can be done standing up or sitting in a chair that supports your back. Make yourself as comfortable as you can. If you can, loosen any clothes that restrict your breathing. Place your arms on the chair arms if it has them. If you're sitting or standing, place both feet flat on the ground. Whatever position you're in, place your feet roughly hip-width apart. Let your breath flow as deep down into your belly as is comfortable, without forcing it. Try breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. Breathe in gently and regularly. Some people find it helpful to count steadily from 1 to 5. You may not be able to reach 5 at first. Then, without pausing or holding your breath, let it flow out gently, counting from 1 to 5 again, if you find this helpful. Keep doing this for 3 to 5 minutes. #iHeartOswegoApproved #oswegohealthfoundation
