We are a small, close-knit team, and really value the personal connection of being in the office together. One thing we instituted right away when we began working from home was a daily stand-up meeting where everyone goes through their top priority for the day and a \"fun fact\" unrelated to work or COVID.

I say this to myself more than anyone! As I mentioned above, it can be hard to mentally transition away from work when you are working and living in the same space, so any ritual you can institute to make that transition is so important. It can be as small as taking a walk or just taking 10 deep breaths to signify that your workday is ending. \u003C/span>\r\n\u003Ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: opensans-regular;\">\u003Cb>Given that you work in the health and wellness space, what are your go-to wellness routines that are keeping you sane right now?\u003C/b>\u003C/span>\u003C/h2>\r\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: opensans-regular;\">There are two wellness-related things I do every day that are keeping me sane.
