Location

Firstly, remote working allows us to keep working like before. Still, instead of being stuck at the office, we can completely change our location. The word location includes one crucial aspect that affects everyone’s well-being – the weather. Whether good or bad, it affects our mood and energy levels. In the long-term duration, weather even affects our mental health. For instance, the researchers of the University of Michigan found that Taking a trip to someplace warm in the middle of Winter or lingering outside when Spring arrives can be especially beneficial. Pleasant weather improves mood and memory and broadens cognitive style as time spent outside increases.

Hence, having a break from a dark and cold period and taking off to a sunny place give you a nice energy boost. And improve your general well-being but also impacts your creativity and productivity. Not to talk about the increasing motivation to finish your work for the remote office day. And right after have the possibility to take a sunny forest walk or do a golf tour in a pleasant temperature. And best of all, the countries of southern Europe enjoy good winter weather during their low season. With more available accommodation than in the high touristic months. Besides, they can offer a peaceful working environment to combine leisure and work-life with a good balance. 

Creating new work environments offers new approaches for our work as well.

How could I change small things in my personal life to make my life better and consequently improve my well-being?
