2023 has arrived and after the fun festive season, it’s time to get back into your groove and perhaps even enter the magentaverse! Not sure what we mean by this? Read on!
Getting back into routine after a well-deserved break from work is easier said than done. For this reason, to help you get back on track, you may turn to restore your sleep routine, making healthier changes to your diet, planning out your next three months and setting goals, or simply making a change in your home that will instantly give you a feeling of productivity and accomplishment.
Restore Your Sleep
People commonly let their sleep schedules slip when they’re not at work. Understandably so, having the freedom of staying up late, sleeping in, and taking naps in the afternoon makes it tough to rise and shine when the alarm goes off when you’re back at work. Get your sleep back on track by relaxing before bedtime – whether it be by taking a hot bath, listening to calming music, or reading a book. Avoid electronics an hour before bed, as the content and blue light can keep your brain active and suppress melatonin production, which will make it difficult for you to sleep.
Make Healthier Changes
One of the best parts about the festive season is being able to eat whatever you want guilt-free. That being said, all good things must come to an end. Making healthier changes as you begin to get back into routine comes with many benefits. Eating healthy is important for both your physical and mental well-being. In addition to its many other benefits, a healthy diet may also reduce the risk of dementia later in life, which makes it all the more important for both your personal well-being and the success of your career.
Prioritise Your Goals
After a break, it’s easy to return to the office with new goals and motivation. However, when you return to work and you’re overwhelmed by all the emails you need to catch up with and issues that need to be sorted out, it’s also easy to fall back into old habits. Instead of immediately jumping into all your tasks at once, prioritise your to-do list and let people know when you will respond to them and get your tasks done. This will manage their expectations and reduce the time you spend on answering calls and emails. Also, make sure you’re staying on track with your new goals by being proactive and scheduling these goals in your calendar in advance.
Enter The Magentaverse
A great way to enter 2023 and instantly get back into routine by doing something productive is by simply making a change to your home. And what better way to make that change than with Viva Magenta – the 2023 Pantone Colour of the Year?
Viva Magenta is “brave and fearless”, according to the Pantone team. “Powerful and empowering, it is an animated red that encourages experimentation and self-expression without restraint.”
You can integrate this vibrant, statement shade to bring a fresh and rejuvenating feel to your home’s décor for the year ahead. It’s a bold crimson red shade that is well-suited for those looking to add personality to their interiors, but it can also be incorporated into a minimalist style with subtle touches. However used, incorporating Viva Magenta can add a vibrant and dramatic touch to any room in your home.
Refresh Your Bedroom
By simply changing your bedding into one with a hue of Viva Magenta, you can effectively transform your bedroom space into a space that screams 2023, easily enhancing your weary-looking bedroom décor in an instant.
Add A Splash Of Paint
Adding a splash of Viva Magenta paint is an easy way to revitalise your living space. If you’re looking for a bold look, paint all your walls in the rich colour. But if you’re going for a more subtle look, create a statement with a feature wall.
Introduce Accent Furnishings
Introducing a statement rug is an easy way to bring pattern and colour to any room without changing the existing décor. A rug in the shade of Viva Magenta adds a bold touch without the commitment of painting or wallpapering your walls – given that it’s a fashion colour and not a timeless one. If you’re not particularly fond of rugs, adding cushions in shades inspired by Viva Magenta can quickly bring new life to a neutral-coloured room regardless of the wall paint colour. Additionally, it makes the whole décor scheme stand out more.
Hang New Artwork
Enhance the look of your room with bold artworks on the walls. White walls work as the perfect backdrop for statement works of art that have a pop of on-trend colours that are exciting and comforting, like Viva Magenta.
Even if you don’t plan to fully incorporate Viva Magenta throughout your interior design, it can still serve as a striking accent colour, adding a bold touch to more subdued decorating schemes. Making the slightest change to your home can give you the biggest feeling of productivity, and when you are productive, you’re more inclined to enter a positive mindset that will get the ball rolling and bring you closer to your goals.
There are many ways to get back into routine – you just have to find the best way for you that will help you start 2023 on the right note.
