Take care of yourself during COVID-19
Taking care of our mind, body, and soul is the most essential thing we can do right now to stay healthy and in the present moment. As we all know, social distancing has transformed our daily routines and work-life balance. As we take work home, it is important to prioritize our mental and physical health, which inherently is linked to our overall wellbeing and productivity levels. Here’s how to take care of your mind, body, and soul during COVID-19.
Start your morning offline
Don’t look at the news or social media the first thing you wake up. While we are all guilty of this, by simply refraining from doing so in the first hour we awake can help create a more positive tone for the day. Site blocking apps like Freedom and Selfcontrol can help you limit screen time in the morning by blacklisting certain sites for a duration of time. Take back your morning!
Create a morning gratitude routine
The simple act of creating a gratitude list can instantly elevate your mood and put your stresses into context for the day. By stating your gratitude like having a roof over your head, running water, and a warm bed to wake up in every day is enough to alleviate your mood and put into context the important things in life. The Gratitude app is perfect for those seeking an easy to use the in-app journal feature with push notifications to remind you to reflect and practice gratitude.

The most important is to stay positive
Overall, the most important thing we can do to promote health and wellness during a global public health crisis is to remain calm, present, and positive. Gratitude goes a long way and can seriously help improve your overall wellbeing. Focusing on the simple things you can control, like your morning routine, the content you consume, and the food you fuel your body with be more powerful than focusing on that which you cannot control.
