Health After Redundancy
Boosting Your Health After Redundancy
Founder of the Redundancy Recovery Hub, Paula Gardner, talks with wellbeing consultant Rachel McGuinness about boosting your health after redundancy.
Redundancy, just like bereavement or a break-up, is a shock, even if you expect it. It can lower your immune system, and exacerbate any feelings of depression and anxiety you may already be having.
Paula and Rachel share ideas on how to feel more in control, including an exercise on pin-pointing your values which will serve you again and again. They also look at how to create a feeling of connection if you are isolated after redundancy. This video also shares practical things you can do to improve your health after redundancy, such as using those initial first weeks to exercise and build healthy routines. Rachel shares her thoughts on creating a good sleep routine. This is vital to keep you fresh and perhy for job applications and interviews.
Watch this to get some ideas on how to get your physical and mental health back on track after redundancy.
