Day 4 social self care

So obviously right now this can be a bit tricky, covid has made social anything a difficult time to arrange. But there are still things you can do to replenish your social self care and be safe during pandemic times.

You are still allowed to visit up to one person out of the home, utilize this and find a buddy to make plans with, no matter how small to keep up with.
My plans this winter are to make clay things with my best friend and explore my abilities to paint with her as well when we can make time for each other.

With Christmas here, why not give back if you're in the position to? It can be as small as a gesture of kind words to someone else who may need them, not everything needs to be a cost.
I plan to donate a gift to an elderly program this year to help those stuck in places they can't necessarily control. My goal is to donate some winter items this year to the less fortunate as the shelters are not able to take in as many people with the way things are during covid.

Dates are great ways to make someone feel thought of or special, it's easy to set something up at home !
Or even go on a small walk somewhere in the city

Just taking that time to detach from what day to day reality is for you, taking in some fresh air and new perspectives can give our brain a huge mood boost shift.

I hope everyone out there is doing the best they can with the circumstances wer'e faced with right now ❤️

Day 2 physical self care

It's so important to think about ourselves in body, mind & soul. If one isn't nurtured we feel off, not like ourselves and sometimes even a bit hopeless about our situation.

Physical self care is where it's at! Touch therapy is a huge booster for mood stabilizers in the brain and helps you to feel relaxed, taken care of and whole again.
Taking time to workout or find a sport you enjoy is important to keep your cardiovascular, mental and physical health at peak performance.

I workout atleast 4-5 days a week, stretch everyday and recieved atleast 2 massages a month myself for basic self care. I also do pedicures, masks and baths to show myself that I deserve respect and time spent on me.

Hello again everyone!
I'm going to be making posts over the next week to show ways we can help ourselves to improve our mental and physical well being.
Day 1 emotional self care

Sometimes we forget to check in on ourselves and it can leave us feeling pretty foggy and lost.
It's good to take time to help your brain sort out all the daily occurences you go through and store it away into healthy memories and growth opportunities.

I have been working with a healer now for a few months to help with my emotional self care, I practice daily rituals to help my inner self and try to be mindful of what my soul is telling me I need to feel nurtured at the time.

Healing is beautiful ❤️
