This time of quarantine or social distancing can be hard… here are 5 tips for mental health, wellness and productivity!
1. Create a routine
Set a schedule and stick to it! Make an effort each day to change out of your pj’s and make a to-do list of tasks to accomplish. Something as simple as a morning skincare routine can create a sense of normalcy and productivity. If a clean space helps calm your anxiety, pick an area in your house to organize each day, it’s amazing how therapeutic this can be. Most importantly, it’s okay to cut yourself some slack during this time!
2. Take care of your body
During quarantine, daily exercise is an essential component to staying energized, productive and positive. This can include a variety of at-home workouts, yoga, stretching or meditation! Your body and mind will thank you! Check out some of these top at home workout channels!
