SELF-CARE IDEAS FOR DEALING WITH A BAD DAY
As humans, we all have those days where we just feel down.
Going through bad days, sometimes weeks, is a pretty normal part of life. However, on occasion, certain factors can cause us to go through bad months or even years at a time. Our current global pandemic is the prime example of a long-term “bad” time.
If you’re currently living in one of the hardest-hit areas, like me, it can seem especially tough to find the light. But despite the location, it is completely valid for everyone to feel sad, lonely, anxious, and emotional during this time.
With all of that said, the best thing you can do during those hard times is love and embrace the state you’re in. Most of us will try to fight against any emotions that make us uncomfortable. However, the keys for overcoming those feelings are simple…
1) Get Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable
Allow yourself to feel & go through your emotions
2) Practice Self-Love
Talk to yourself with kindness
3) Incorporate Self-Care Rituals
Create a list of things that make you feel happy and/or relaxed & add them into your daily routine
In order to give you a head start, I have provided you with my favorite self-care rituals below. Feel free to use/adapt any of these to fit into your own life & schedule.
