If you’re feeling uncertain, uneasy, or unmotivated during these trying times, you’re not alone. Taking care of your mental well-being is essential to maintaining a sense of security in a not-so-certain time. Here are a few self-care strategies to help you through this age of pandemic pandemonium.

Go outdoors!
Vitamin D is imperative to our bodies. Lack of Vitamin D can lead to fatigue and depression. Going outdoors has also been proven to restore mental energy, relieve stress, improve concentration, boost immune systems, and improve short-term memory. Go for a brisk walk, lay in a hammock, have a picnic, or sit on your porch and read!

Eat healthily!
Being aware of the foods you ingest will make a difference in how your body functions. If you’re not receiving all the essential vitamins andnutrients your body needs, consider adding a multivitamin to your daily routine.

Practice self-compassion!
If a friend is feeling stressed or anxious, how would you speak to them or treat them? Allow yourself that same compassion. Show yourself kindness, and be mindful of how you speak to yourself. This life-changing perspective can become your mental best friend. Remember that you are not alone, and cut yourself some slack.

Engage in self-care!

Spoiling yourself in some simple but soothing activities can turn a hectic day into a calm one. Face masks, body scrubs, manicures, and deep hair conditioning treatments are just some of the ways you can pamper yourself. Facials and massages are a great way to unwind and distance yourself from reality, and The Floating Lotus Spa has many different services to choose from.
