Outdoor Freelancing

As we quickly approach the (hopefully) glorious British Summer, I’ve found myself a tad more spritely than usual in the morning! The light tap from my Apple Watch at 6:30 feels more friendly than usual and I only snoozed once today instead of my normal 812.

I’m reminding myself to enjoy these longer days—the Summer Solstice is the 21st of June, for those asking. There is less than a month to go until the nights slowly draw in.

As we continue to Freelance away inside, let’s make a collective effort to cherish this most glorious of seasons by getting outside.

Why not grab your laptop and head to your nearest outdoor space? Have you ever tethered from the park? It’s exhilarating.

Failing that… one practice I’m warming to is light exposure first thing in the morning. According to science ⚛️, it helps regulate the body's circadian rhythms by signalling to the brain that it's time to be awake and alert.

10 to 30 minutes is recommended - you’ll need less time on a clear blue morning. Avoid looking directly at the sun, but try to get direct exposure without sunglasses or windows blocking the light.

This practice is found to improve mood, increase energy levels, and enhance sleep quality later in the day.

Along with our Morning Accountability sessions, there aren’t many better ways to start a working day!

Morning Accountability Meetup

It’s been well over 3 months since we started our first Morning Accountability Group and tomorrow we are having our first London meetup!

Our Morning Sessions have been one of the most successful things to come out of Freelance Friends this year and we’re just getting started.

If you need a boost of energy first thing in the morning, we are looking for new members.

P.S. We are planning a bigger meetup soon for all of our Freelance Friends.
