Dr. Teralyn Sell, psychotherapist explains to Digital Journal about how working from home impacts mental health in different ways for people. In relation to this issue, Dr. Sell spells out three important tips to create the best at-home work environment to help improve mental health. These tips are:  Tip #1: Set apart your workspace  It is imperative that your workspace not stare at you every day and night. Even if you dont have a dedicated office space, use a corner of your room and put a divider screen around your workspace when you are not working. Out of sight, out of mind is a workable statement here. Tip #2: Create boundaries and stick to them  While working from home we have a tendency to work longer hours than when we are in the office. This is good for your business, but bad for work and life balance. Create office hours for yourself and stick to them. Tip #3: Create a transition time  Though the traffic during commute times was terrible, the commute itself allowed us to transition between work and home.

Perhaps its as simple as closing up your office and taking a few minutes to meditate or even just breathe. Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading.
