BODY AND SPIRIT: Have you ever thought about what could be the solution if you are unable to leave the house, or if your normal pampering activities are unavailable because of injury, illness, or sheer tiredness? What best you can do to make your body and spirit lively? Possibly, we have the right answer to this.
If you can’t book a spa break, then you can give yourself some at-home care. The tips in this article will show you how to maintain your health while at home. To decompress after a long day of work, you might have a cup of coffee or read a book.
TREAT YOUR MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT
Replace your commute with self-care
If you are able to keep your home as a work-from-home location, why not consider other options for filling the time you used to spend commuting? You can prepare yourself for your day by meditating or doing breathing exercises, instead of sitting on the train or in your car. Breathing exercises are an important aspect of yoga. It is the act of connecting the mind and body.
Make wellness a part of your everyday life, so you always have something to look forward to in your day. Try to fit yoga and meditation into your morning routine, or have a bath every evening to relax.
Dedicate a place in your home to be your own personal ‘happy places’. Create an area that you can escape to when you need some time alone for self-reflection, meditation, or just reading. By adding scented candles, cherishing a favorite framed quote or photos that bring you joy, and nurturing a plant, your ‘happy place’ can be completed.
Plan things in advance
When you get home, after taking care of chores and errands, many people find it hard to adjust with the extra free time on hand. Making a list of activities will be helpful:
It is important that you schedule time for each important area of your life. Categories in this tool include health, relationships, self-development, chores, and relaxation. Categories can be tailored to fit your life, and a master list of tasks should be created. Before going to bed each night, choose two items from each category to be completed the next day.
Your days will be filled with variety, but you’ll still feel productive. Do not forget to relax and be in the moment. Now is the perfect time to do some soul-searching and figure out that relaxation should be the top priority in your life.
Take time each day for relaxation
Separating work and leisure is of extreme importance. Working from home is a great opportunity, but it can be hard to leave work in the office when you go home. It is important to take a break from work once you have finished for the day. NOT getting enough sleep can lead to tension and stress, which in turn can negatively impact your quality of life. Please put your work things away, find a comfortable spot, and spend a few minutes unwinding.
Go outside and breathe deeply.
If possible, get outside every day to help yourself stay healthy. Go for a run, lift weights or go on a long walk. Fresh air and exercise are a wonder-cure and help you to disconnect from the things that upset you. The fitness is a great addition/benefit.
Getting fresh air every day can help your digestive system, maintain blood pressure, fortify the immune system, and make you happier as it helps the brain produce serotonin. The more oxygen in our lungs, the better brain functioning is. So, boost your wellness by taking a short walk outside – even if it’s just around the block.
Set up an at-home exercise routine
Couch potato behavior results in being fat, lazy, and unhealthy. You can exercise without a gym, but that means making compromises in what you do. Try developing your own personal exercise routine. A daily exercise routine of simple exercises – push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and lunges – can make a big difference.
It will make you mentally sharper while improving your physical fitness.
Honor your routine
One of the best wellness advice is to make your daily ritual sacred and stick to it as much as you can. Sleep, shower, and change into comfortable clothes every day. Set your workspace away from your bedroom so you won’t be tempted to doze off at the desk. Sleep hygiene becomes even more important when you’re in a tricky time.
Be aware of what you eat
If you frequently find yourself tempted by snacks when at home alone, you’re certainly not alone. It can be tempting to eat these foods because they make you feel so good, but our bodies often don’t like them. During this time of year, it’s vital that we are mindful of what we eat.
It would be wise not to overstock on treats, because you won’t want to stop eating them. Instead of indulging in junk food when you’re feeling overcome with stress, stock your cupboards with healthy and nutritious foods that can help you deal with emotional distress.
Events can get the best of us, no matter how much we try to control them. Therefore, it’s important that we find some time to pamper our mind, body and spirit to renew ourselves. Whether you are at home or in a spa, there are some self-care options available.
You should follow the advice given in this blog to pamper yourself a little more each day. Also, do make it a habit to indulge in routine spa activities as this certainly brings your mind body and spirit in complete harmony with each other.
