Self-Care during a quarantine 

As we are in the depths of a global pandemic, we all have been doing our part in flattening the curve which means stay home. There is no better time to practice self-care which is necessary for our mental, emotional and even physical well-being. While we have all been ordered to stay home, that doesn’t mean you have to stay in the house, so we encourage you to get outside and walk/run, play in your yard, sit on your porch and get fresh air just make sure you still practice social distancing. We have compiled a list of ways you can self-care without leaving your house!

Womens Lounge Playsuit

1.     These cozy overalls are great for lounging around the house and are great for pregnancy since they are stretchy! With a price of $25, they are cute and cost-efficient. (www.target.com)

2.     We love relaxing in a hot bath after a stressful day, but since we are stuck in the house, who says we can’t destress in the middle of the day? Order yourself some new bath bombs or bubble bars from Lush and pop one in your bath with a glass of wine (or mocktail if you are expecting!).

3.     Mental health is so important for us in time when we are experiencing trauma and stress. Our affiliate Akoma Counseling Concepts is accepting new clients for teletherapy. Reach out to Dr. Shivonne Odom and take time to process your feelings. 

4.     After the quarantine is over, head over to the chiropractor or an adjustment and get your body back in alignment! We love Dr. Bryant Harris at TruCentered Chiropractic

5.     Lastly, sometimes we just want to sit and binge watch a good show! We recommend “Babies” on Netflix! Enjoy!

 

We hope that you and your families are staying safe during this pandemic and hope that you find our list useful. Let us know some of your favourite self-care trends.
