Stick To Your New Year's Resolutions

The new year seems to sneak up on all of us and we haven't even completed the past year's resolutions!  Many people make resolutions but never even attempt to carry them out while others try all year to reach their resolution goals only to discover it's time to start all over again!  At Slimline Warehouse, we encourage you to make resolutions to improve your health and well-being.  Set realistic goals and then take the time to improve your livelihood, and surround yourself with the right tools and to help you reach your new goals.  

We offer a fine line of standing desks that are specifically designed to be comfortable, pleasing to the eye, and improve your health every day.  Here are several reasons why you should include a standing desk in your 2019 New Year Resolutions.

Improve Your Relationships At Work

All too often, we take our professional relationships for granted and don't even give them a second thought because we are so immersed in our work.  In reality, it's important to take a closer look at your surroundings and your relationships at work in a productive and constructive way.  Keep in mind, your resolutions and goals should be tangible and attainable to make your professional relationships more positive throughout the new year.

If you choose to use a standing desk during the work day, you will allow your brain to think more clearly and improve your muscles versus sitting all day.  These desks will also improve your working relationships because you will be more visible and improve your concentration during the day.  When you are in a standing position, it's so much easier to walk over to a co-worker and say hi or discuss work-related matters.

Consider Eating Healthier Foods

It can be quite difficult to change bad habits and eating healthier foods is easier said than done. Sometimes by just starting to phase out one bad habit, you may find it easier to phase out others.  If you stand at your desk more often during the day, you might be inspired to drink more water and eat healthier foods. 

Why not consider bringing your lunch from home instead of dashing off at the last minute to load up on junk food. Food for thought, no pun intended, when you eat healthier foods your brain functions clearly and provides the energy you need to get through your day!

Start Exercising On A Regular Basis

Improving your exercise routine is a must.  Get with your co-workers and dedicate 30 minutes out of your lunchtime to exercise.  Also, if you are using a standing desk, you are automatically helping your body become stronger and healthier.  When you are standing, you are constantly in motion, your muscles are working out, and your back and neck pains are being alleviated.   According to Juststand.org, standing for 3 hours a day throughout the entire year, your body will burn up to 30,000 extra calories!  In case you are not aware, that's equivalent to running approximately 10 marathons.

Improving Your Posture

Remember when you were really young and your mother kept telling you to stand up straight?  The older we get, the greater the chances are we will start slumping which can lead to chronic back problems.

A standing desk is a perfect solution to improve your posture.  You will be aware of your bad posture and help you focus on turning that bad habit around.  You should take the time to focus on your posture and make corrections where needed.  You should set the alarm on your watch or on your clock to go off every half hour to remind you to take a look at your posture.  You might just discover you are standing straighter, your spine is aligning properly, and mum would be so pleased!
