How are you practicing self care during this unprecedented time?
With the closing of schools, many people working from home, changing routines and adapting to a new way of life, it’s more important than ever to make sure that you get your daily dose of self care.
Here are a few great ways to get your self-care on while staying safe at home:
Take a bath - Warm baths help to relax your muscles and can help to melt away stress. Add in your favorite bath salt or bath bomb and enjoy a spa-like experience right in your own home. Plus you get a little quality alone time, which is always a bonus.
Grab a book - Now is a great time to start a book on your reading list. Books can provide a little escape for us, stimulate our minds and even soothe our spirits.
Get some fresh air - Step outside (while adhering to social distancing guidelines) to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. Studies have shown that fresh air can help to fight depression, give you an energy boost and strengthen your immune system.
Move your body - If you are used to going to the gym on a regular basis, you may be struggling to replicate your gym workout at home. Many fitness instructors are offering free daily workouts on Instagram live, and there are a number of free workout apps that you can download on your phone, tablet or computer. Do a little searching and choose one that works best for you.
