Like everyone I have been struggling to adjust to this new indoor life. But here are some little thing that have made me feel more whole as a person.

Have a morning routine

Having a morning routine makes waking up less dreadful and it makes me less likely to scroll social media for hours in the morning.

Online Yoga

At first I was dreading doing an at home workout but once I found a good flow video, I felt amazing afterwards. These videos are shorter than a normal class normally but I usually pair this with an afternoon workout and it has been working really well. Here is my recent favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1H3xO3x_Js

Getting Fresh Air However You Can

If you live in a studio apartment like me this might be proven difficult but I realized even opening my windows and taking time to tend to my plant makes me feel a lot better. Even taking my time to walk to the dumpster has been providing me with the vitamin D to get by.

Start a new book or finish a book

I am trying my best to read alongside working and researching for the blog more. It has been a challenge but it has been proven a great way to pass time that is not looking at a screen the whole time.

Don’t forget to clean yourself and your space

This is a big one as I am wearing the same clothes for days on end and I have been getting lazy with cleaning my space as no one is coming over. However, I realized cleaning my space has made me feel so much better mentally and it gives the motivation to get other things done like clean myself which unfortunately comes last sometimes.

Talk to your friends and family

This is the time for PHYSICAL distancing not social distancing. Please do not neglect your need to connect with other people especially if you live alone like me. I found myself slipping into a depression until I took the time to call people every day. And think about it, they need it too. We are all in this together.

I do these things not for perfection or productivity but to promote wholeness in my life. What are you doing to feel more whole during these times?
