Last week I talked about thing that you can do, Today I am reflecting on ways to soothe your soul. As the world and U.S. news continues to be a source of stress as we all abide by the stay at home order, it might just be time to unplug for a bit and reflect. It is important to take care of yourself may mean just sitting there. It is ok to watch some comedies on TV. It is ok to laugh and actually very good for your mental attitude. So when you see those memes, it is ok to laugh.
Take a walk. I have seen some outstanding and amazing chalk drawings on driveways. That brings a smile to my face. The sun has been out in my city and it truly is greta to get some Vitamin C and fesh air. Grab a lawn chair and sit in your ard and watch the clouds go by.
Do some yoga. There’s lots of free classes on line and if you can support your local yoga or dance studio, please do so.
Bake. I have seen lots of women boredom baking from crafted cupcakes to banana bread. It is comfort food we are seeking. Did you know that in Ohio yeast in Ohio is almost as hard to find as toilet paper? Many who have never had time to bake bread or those who may have never tried it before, are trying this craft. My mom’s recipe will be getting a look too. I usually make it at Easter time and this year will be no exception. I just may be eating more of the carbs myself as I cannot share it with my extended family.
Pray. Meditate. Breathe. It is good for your soul. It is good for your health. Get enough sleep. Are you home? Take a nap. Forgive yourself. I know I have felt as though I should be doing more. It is perfectly acceptable to do what is right for you. It is ok to make a mistake. It is ok to not feel ok sometimes. You are still important. You are loved.
