Isolation. ⁣⁣The Free Time we Never Asked For.

⁣

This should surprise no one, but I’m an extrovert. I love being out in the world and playing. Due to the recent health crisis, however, I have been self-quarantined which has forced me to sit still, pause, and be in my own space. ⁣

⁣

This time out from life has been challenging, but I am choosing to use it as a time to grow, reflect, and recuperate. Even extroverts need to recover sometimes. ⁣

⁣

Below I have created a list of what I am doing to reconnect with myself, keep myself sane, and practice mindfulness. You don’t have to use it, but if you want to it’s here. ⁣

⁣

Cheers everyone! We’re in this together. ⁣

⁣

PS: feel free to dm me questions/comments/concerns/if you’re just bored and want to talk. I have nothing but time now 😊 ⁣

⁣

1.) create a list of what you are grateful for⁣

2.) spring cleaning 🧼⁣

3.) at home workouts (DM me and I will connect you with the awesome team I’ve been working with) ⁣

4.) yoga flows, you can make them up, or just YouTube them! ⁣

5.) fix that old pair of jeans that have a hole that have been sitting in your closet ⁣

6.) clean your old sneakers (I know, not that fun, but is super satisfying) ⁣

7.) call/FaceTime your mom and friends! I just learned you can play virtual monopoly with your friends online and it’s actually really fun! ⁣

8.) practice some self care, do your nails, tweeze your eyebrows, wear a face mask, etc. ⁣

9.) drink a cup of tea and simply be still ⁣

10.) read that book you bought months ago but never made time for ⁣

11.) go for a walk (if you live in an area where this is allowed and you can still be isolated ⁣

12.) sit on your porch and just listen ⁣

13.) write thank you notes to the people in your life that you’re thankful for! ⁣

14.) online shop to support the small businesses you can’t visit ⁣

15.) learn a new skill (I’m teaching myself the ukelele) ⁣

16.) paint (even if you’re not a great artist) ⁣

17.) sign up for an online class, tech schools over pretty inexpensive or sometimes free online courses that are really interesting! I just registered for a self-paced mindfulness course! ⁣

18.) create a list of goals and a plan as to how you can achieve them⁣
