HOW TO STAY MENTALLY HEALTHY IN THE WORKPLACE

Listen to your body, and if you won’t listen to your body, listen to the people around you who are telling you you’re doing too much.

Michelle Kennedy, founder and CEO, Peanut

Hang on to what you know is right for you. You will be told so many times that what you think doesn’t count or is stupid or is irrelevant but hang on to that because that is what will see you through. Sophie Walker, former leader of the Women’s Equality Party

Say no: learning to be strict about organising your time is key.

Alex Depledge, founder of resi.co.uk

Don’t eat lunch at your desk. If I don’t have a break (even a short one) I get a fuzzy head. Take some time out to have lunch with colleagues, and get some fresh air if you can. It makes the world of difference. Luciana Berger, Independent Group MP for Liverpool Wavertree
