In addition to limiting the amount of negative news I digest & keeping track of what I’m grateful for, I’m also keeping a list of promises I’ve made to myself during this challenging time. I look at this list EVERY DAY! It’s there to remind me what my do’s & don’ts are while traversing the ups & downs of this pandemic. What do’s & don’ts have you implemented to keep yourself physically & mentally healthy during COVID? Let me know in the comments👇🏽Here’s my list ❤️⠀
⠀
DO:⠀
👍🏽 Move your body for a minimum of 10 minutes per day⠀
👍🏽 Continue to eat healthy⠀
👍🏽Stay in touch with friends & family – Especially those who are living alone⠀
👍🏽 At least 1 mindfulness exercise per day for a minimum of 10 minutes – Breathwork, meditation, etc.⠀
👍🏽 Keep your brain active; read, puzzles, draw, play games, etc.⠀
👍🏽 Brain dump every morning & every night before you go to bed – This is basically just stream of conscious writing in my journal – I set a timer for 3-5 minutes depending on how much time I have and I don’t stop waiting until the timer goes off⠀
👍🏽 Get ready @ least 3 days per week – I do my hair and makeup like I’m going out & it feels SO good! It’s all about mindset!⠀
👍🏽 Get outside!⠀
👍🏽 Think about what you’re most looking forward to when this is over ⠀
⠀
⠀
DON’T:⠀
🚫 Over do it with news⠀
🚫 Get lazy⠀
🚫 Forget there are ways to be social without being physically social – Houseparty, Zoom, etc.⠀
🚫 Eat like crap ⠀
🚫 Find yourself in a web of complaints & feeling sorry for yourself. You’re luckier than most! ⠀
🚫 But also, don’t shove your feelings down either – It’s okay to not be okay – Just don’t allow yourself to live there for too long⠀
🚫 Forget about your practice – Continue to do yoga, meditation, breathwork, mindfulness ⠀
🚫 Focus only on the bad things that are happening⠀
🚫 Develop bad habits – Mainly don’t be a couch potato⠀
🚫 Smother your boyfriend or your pets, lol :)
