Now we can’t blame Beyonce for the great resignation, but “Break My Soul” sits top of our minds as the movement’s anthem. The traditional 9-5 has been a quintessential puzzle piece in achieving the American dream for generations. In contrast, the past two years’ events made 9-5 the furthest thing from a dream for many Americans.
The lockdown of 2020 was an eye opener for employees. From the flexibility of work from home to the considerations one can take for their mental health, there were many factors leading employees to make the jump.
Forging your own path is an admirable pursuit, but don’t forget to take care of your health along the way. Leaving a full-time job means leaving the insurance that came with that job. Now you may be rolling the dice and going uninsured, but if the past two years have taught us anything, it should be how life can change in a blink of an eye.
Here you are at the start of a new chapter of your career. The last thing any freelancer wants is to pay out of pocket for medical bills. You don’t need a traditional full-time job to have health care; you need HealthEE by HBG. Our online marketplace has a variety of insurance packages at low costs that you can purchase on a monthly or quarterly basis. No open enrollment, no employer sponsor, no 9-5 required. We want you to have the freedom and flexibility you left your job for.

HealthEE Habits For A Healthy Life
Summer is a time for spontaneity, too much ice cream, day trips to the beach, and sun on our faces. But as we move into August, we must come back to reality and check in with ourselves. August is the best time to evaluate what works with my routines and what doesn’t. Especially here in New York, the change of the seasons makes it difficult to stay motivated, and I find having consistent habits an excellent grounding element. If you have been searching for a new routine or want to spruce up your current one, look no further. Here are six habits for a healthier life,
Stretch every morning,
Stretching takes only a few minutes and will set your day up for success. In our monthly newsletter, we share stretches specific to lifestyle. Next month we will be sharing stretches designed for desk workers, you can sign up to receive the newsletter by filling out the get in touch form here, but an excellent place to start is to reach down and touch your toes. My mother has always taught me that if she can still feel her toes, so should I, and I extend this challenge to you. Do you want to be outdone by my mom? I didn’t think so. If you can’t quite reach out of the gates, no biggie; every day, try to reach a little lower. However, if you can touch your toes with no problem, I challenge you to put your back against a wall, heels touching the wall, and bend, keeping your legs flesh to the wall for a bit more of a challenge.
8 hours of sleep a night,
This habit is much harder in the summer when it seems there is every reason to stay out or finish that beach read, but your body will thank you for the extra recharge, and your heart will probably thank you too for not needing as many cups of coffee.
Stay up to date with your checkups and doctor’s visits,
With the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to forget that appointment you scheduled six months ago before whatever fabulous plans landed in your lap, but keeping those appointments is essential to your health. Especially with affordable preventative essential care options available here, there is no reason not to go.
Read everyday,
The average attention span of a human is 8.25 seconds. The average attention span of a goldfish is 9 seconds. I’m not talking about the average teen human or whoever you think is more addicted to technology than you are. That’s humans across the board. Whether it be a news article or a book, reading more than captions and tweets will be more stimulating for your mind and your sanity- not everything you read on social media is worth your time.
Go easy on yourself and practice self-love,
Now I can almost feel your eyes rolling. “self-love” has been quite the buzzword as of late, but there is a good reason. Now, this looks different for everyone. Self-love to me can be walking by the dog park or journaling. But it can also be more subtle, talking to yourself in a kinder tone, not being mad at yourself for your mistakes, and complimenting yourself instead of criticizing when you walk by a mirror. Self-care to my brother is having the latest Yankees t-shirt. Well, each to each your own. There are no rules as long as what you’re doing makes you happy and brings you a sense of peace.
Drinking water,
Get yourself a reusable cup or bottle to keep by your desk and watch as, almost unconsciously, you drink more water. Drinking water helps every part of your body, from your joints to your brain to your internal body temperature. The benefits of water need no introduction. You simply have to choose to dedicate yourself to drinking at least2 liters of water a day.
We’ve Done The Work For You
A quick google search of insurance will produce a startling number of hits, all filled with confusing industry jargon. Many unable to break through the noise will purchase plans with too much or too little coverage. Having the wrong coverage doesn’t benefit anyone. Here at HBG, our team of experts are industry veterans that have seen it all and want to help you find benefits that do just that, benefit you.
You may think your insurance options begin and end with your employer. However, we know how limiting this can be, our plans do not require employer sponsorship, meaning your coverage is yours and follows you in the event of a life change such as a job change or move within the country.
Our team has had decades of experience in the insurance industry and has curated an array of plans that are accessible and possible for everyday life. In addition, we have researched, reviewed, and vetted every carrier seeking the best value for our benefits, from cost to service to flexibility. As a result, we’ve taken insurance from a buzzword with 2,680,000,000 (and counting) search results to a user-friendly online store as easy to navigate as your favorite online retailers.
The Healthee by HBG expertise doesn’t stop with the online store itself. You can become an expert by utilizing our dedicated support team headed by Ask Evan, whose specialty is educating customers on their benefit options.
