Wartime Mental Selfcare

01.07.2022

The 128th day of the war and we continue to work, fight and share some tips 🙌
➡️ For those who are safe, we have collected several effective ways to maintain war-life balance, which we managed to accumulate during this difficult time:
✅ Try to plan your tasks for the day. Try to complete at least three work tasks and three chores each day if possible
✅ Try to alternate work and rest. For example, try to take take a 5-minute break after every 25 minutes of work. Take a longer 20-30 minutes break after 4 such shifts
✅ Limit your social media time and try not to update the news feed. It is a good practice to create a schedule for those activities, like 15 minutes for social media in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening
✅ Get news only from official and reliable sources and share only reliable information
✅ Take care of your body and don’t forget about physical activity. Any minimal physical activity will give you some energy
✅ Eat regularly and follow a proper diet
✅ Let yourself get used to positive emotions and thoughts. Ask yourself what specifically comforted you today
✅ Try to help where you are useful and have the most experience and expertise
✅ Establish a routine, restore the rituals of a peaceful life, and plan for the future as much as possible

Hill’s Pet Nutrition

18.04.2021

As warm spring days come, many owners and their pets enjoy long walks in the fresh air. But for some dogs spring does not seem to be a very enjoyable season. These are pets prone to allergies to environmental components that include fleas, pollen, dust and even grass. In spring symptoms may become worse and can be accompanied by itching, swelling of mucous membranes, runny nose, watery eyes and constant sneezing.

If you notice these signs in your pet, it is essential to immediately consult with your vet. If the cause really comes to environmental substances, your vet will help you choose the right treatment and can offer your pet a special diet, like Hill’s Prescription Diet Derm Defense by our Barbus company partner Hill’s Pet Nutrition.

This nutrition is specially formulated for dogs suffering from environmental allergies:
☑️ Clinically proven to help strengthen skin barrier
☑️ Contains the optimal level of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids for healthy skin and shiny coat
☑️ Soothes and maintains healthy skin and fur
☑️ Promotes natural skin regeneration
☑️ Supports immune system

Ceva Sante Animale

11.04.2021

Regardless stereotypes, cats and dogs can become best friends – if you help them a little bit.

Our Barbus company partner, CEVA SANTE ANIMALE, knows the secret of happy life together. Adaptil and Felivay pheromones for dogs and cats are clinically proven to improve relations between four-legged pals living in one house. Pheromones send “calming signals” that help animals relax and adopt to living together.

📌 What are the changes you experienced when working remotely?
When working remotely, I am more focused, and, I hope, more productive and able to provide more qualitative service. I believe that is because most requests I get are in emails, which reduces distraction and allows me to perform tasks consistently.

Pre-planned working day, being satisfied with my work, understanding my responsibility for finishing tasks on time and in a qualitative way.

📌 What do you think will change after returning to the office?
Communication between colleagues will improve. We will understand that people we work with are a part of our lives and they give us much more than we think.

➡️The risk of contracting the virus in public transport is minimal, because there is no need to use it when working remotely.
➡️The only disadvantage seems to be working overtime. It is harder to keep balance between work and leisure, but, at the same time, my productivity has increased a lot.

That is effective planning of my working hours and accurate performance of tasks.
📌 What helps you relax?
In such conditions, a cup of warm tea with milk and cinnamon helps me here.

It will be difficult to wake up very early again.

In the face of COVID-19, we are seeing a viral spread of fake news urging to avoid contact with pets in order not to become infected with COVID-19.

Our partner, IDEXX, a global leader in veterinary diagnostics and veterinary practice software, has analyzed thousands of samples taken from dogs and cats and has detected no positive results in pets of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus strain responsible for COVID-19.

The results align with the current expert understanding that pets cannot be infected with COVID-19 or transmit it.

Stay positive and continue to take care of your furry friends. We believe that moments we spend with them can bring plenty of positive emotions that can help us during these hard times.

Epidemics and crisis bring new challenges to businesses.
We at Aricol Group understand the impact coronavirus may have on small businesses. From facing the lack of income to putting the whole business on hold – the effects of epidemic can be hard to predict.

We believe that it is essential to support small business and private initiatives in these unfavorable conditions. For this reason, we would like to postpone debt payments and provide a guaranteed additional deferred payments for our most vulnerable partners – small businesses working in the segment of cafes and restaurants in the areas affected by quarantine for the whole period of its duration.

We believe that it is important to stay together in such times.
