As someone who works from home full-time, I know first hand how awesome it can be. You can wake up whenever you want, rock sweatpants all day, binge watch your favorite Netflix show for the eighth time, and stay home with your dogs all day. But it also has its disadvantages. There’s no one watching over you to make sure that you get your work done. You don’t have any coworkers to interact with. Not to mention, if you’re not careful, it can be easy to overwork yourself and work late into the night. I’ve been there.
Just like with any other job, remote work can get stressful. However, working from home means that you can make yourself some tea, wrap yourself in a weighted blanket, and wear a face mask to combat that stress. So, if you’re looking for some ways to zen out while working from home, look no further. I’ve rounded up 37 WFH items that will de-stress your day!
Stop Slouching With This Posture Corrector
Working from home has a lot of perks–one being that you can literally work from your couch. However, it’s not so great for your posture. Prevent yourself from slouching with this posture corrector. Wear it like a backpack while you work and watch how your back pain seemingly disappears.

It lets you charge it whenever it dies, so you can use it for years–no needing to throw it away.
This Light Therapy Lamp Will Keep You Sane
I work from home and I find myself sitting inside for 10-12 hours sometimes. Although I try to get outdoors and take breaks as much as possible, the weather doesn’t always cooperate.

One of my morning routines is to ice roll my face. It helps me feel more awake, helps reduce puffiness, and helps me destress before the day begins.
