1. Sit comfortably in your chair, feet firmly planted in the ground, hands on your thighs.
2. Close your eyes, or fixate on a point in the distance, and pay attention to your breathing.
3. Take a deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs and stomach with air, then slowly exhale through your mouth.
4. Repeat 5 times.
5. Follow the path of the air in your body and feel the tensions dissolve.

Short introductory word

Welcome to POUSSEletter , the new interactive media from the POUSSE agency.

His mission ? Help you cultivate your well-being at work.

Every Thursday at 1:30 p.m., you will receive an expansive and caring letter in your inbox, designed to pause, to be inspired, to integrate, to blossom your own potential by living a healthier daily life.

POUSSEletter exists to (re)connect. And who says connection, says collaboration. This is why each letter will be an invitation to meditate on a given theme, and to start a conversation.

So, if you feel like it, don't hesitate to click on the "reply to this email" button. We read all messages.

Nice discovery!

The theme of the week

IT'S TIME TO DISCONNECT

When we say "disconnection", we quickly think of the "right to disconnect", this principle integrated into French law according to which an employee has the right not to be connected to professional digital tools outside working hours.

But disconnection can also be "taking a break", to better reconnect to oneself and to the space around us, during work time.

Today, we want to talk to you about initiatives and techniques to invite disconnection in the workplace, to better live it on a daily basis.

It inspires us

“The health context has highlighted the consequences of work-related stress on our mental health. For those lucky enough to work from home, the encroachment of work on our personal lives has further blurred the lines between the two. In fact, working from home has shown us that a sustainable working life must include spaces for physical and mental health throughout the day." - Office Of Things
