Move Your Body
Try to move as much as you can. Regular physical activity can improve your health and can have immediate and long term health benefits. It does not have to take long, just going for a 15 minute walk will help to clear your head and make you feel calmer and happier. There are a lot of different free online classes available online, or do some stretching, dancing or even running up and down the stairs.
Sleep
Sleep is vital for every person’s overall health and well-being and it is so important because it allows your body and mind to recharge and repair. When we are fearful and anxious it can be hard to sleep, so establishing good habits around sleep is particularly important at the moment. Before going to bed make yourself a cup of our Body and Mind Botanicals delicious organic hemp tea with CBD, which will help you to fall asleep easier and allow you to have a restful nights sleep.
Mindfulness
Managing our emotions and supporting each other can be challenging at the best of times. Therefore, especially now, we all need to be doing our best to pause and take a break and be proactive in looking after ourselves. Every day allow some time just for yourself, find a way to be quiet, focusing on the present moment at least for a few minutes each day. Once the mind has found a way to be quiet and calm by being aware of the present moment, it may be possible to be grateful for what you have. And you will be more compassionate towards yourself and others.
Treat Yourself
Also it is so important that we do something that makes us happy, such as going for a walk in the fresh air, make a nice cup of tea, read a book, watch a nice movie or have a bath.
