The Importance of Self-Care During Social Isolation!
It’s been quite an overwhelming few weeks right? The Corona Virus pandemic has shocked the world in more ways than we imagined. With most of the world on lockdown, this is the perfect time to focus on your life, your vision, your passion and figuring out ways successfully implement you plans. As we self isolate and practice social distancing, I think this break is needed for many to get their lives back on track.
Personally for me, this time has allowed me to slow down just a bit as things were getting really hectic. I was preparing to launch Modern Day Mom and also putting things in place for The Post Pregnancy Boujie Express Baby Shower; both which have been postponed until further notice. This time is allowing me
I’ve also been taking time for self-care in the form of my daily beauty regimes, meditation, connecting with family and friends and having more meaningful conversations. It’s so vital to find a sense of peace in a time that is so unpredictable. Focus on a better you. Focus on a better and healthier life. Appreciate life. Appreciate the good. Appreciate the good, honest and caring people in your life. Take this time to reflect.
Mama’s! This is the perfect time to find yourself again. It’s so easy to lose ourselves as we try to balance life. I will remind you that YOU are number one. Please, don’t forget that. You can’t take care of the nest if you are not at your best.
Take time to read that book you bought yet you haven’t had the chance to pick it up and read.
Facials/full body exfoliations. At home remedies are the best because you can do it with the kids around.
Give yourself and mani/pedi.
Sit and BREATHE
FaceTime family and friends (Have a good laugh)
When the kids are in bed. Pour yourself a glass of wine and literally CHILL. RELAX.
Write down your goals but more so, write down how you will bring your goals to real life.
Take time to meditate.
Enjoy this time of reflection.
Workout
I need you stronger NOW more than ever and I need it to overflow in every aspect of your life. Moving ahead, I want you to always remember the importance of self-care even when we are back to “normality”. I want you to continue to uplift yourself. I want you to feel good. This is the best time to be honest with yourself and free yourself.
Mama’s, as I always say, YOU GOT THIS!
