If you’re one of the lucky people who can now work from home (at least in part), or work to a more flexible schedule, brilliant!
Because that means you can adapt your work day to get outside while the sun is out...\xa0

If your job is hindering your health, it’s worth being on the lookout for a new job that will support your health instead.
Because your health is the most valuable thing you have.
We hope you found the information in this week’s newsletter valuable… Now don’t forget to get outside for some sunlight!
