๐ ๐๐ข๐ฉ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐: Most of us are starting to feel pretty stir crazy. Boredom, apathy, & wacky emotions are running high. Iโm not an expert on quarantining + everyone will approach this time differently based on their needs & life. But here are a few things Iโve been doing that have been working really well for me: โจ ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐, ๐ป๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ As much as possible, stick to your normal schedule. Go to bed + wake up at the normal times. If you usually have date nights w/ your spouse on Friday evenings, have them at home! If you normally meet w/ a friend Tue for lunch, do it via FaceTime. This will help keep normalcy in your days. Routine creates safety & peace in our minds. ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ฒ & ๐ ๐ข๐ฉ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ฑ๐! Exercise is a natural anti-depressant, it relieves stress, increases energy, and releases endorphins. Iโm a believer in daily workouts in a normal routine, LET ALONE in this situation!!! ๐๐๐ผ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ/๐ณ Iโm not saying you canโt enjoy tv or movies a little more than normal. But, Iโd strongly discourage vegging out to only tv, social media, etc. More than a couple hrs of screen time per day leads to increased anxiety, depression, apathy, & poor sleep. ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐๐ฉ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ ๐ข๐ฅ๐ก๐๐ก๐! Even if you put on a cute sweat set or leggings, change into something that makes you feel more put together. Put on a dash of mascara or just brush your hair + teeth. This tells your body to wake up, be alert, & release endorphins. ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด โ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒโ Whether thatโs a home project, arts & crafts, or working from home, make the most of your days. This extra time we have right now is an opportunity. Are you going to waste it or take advantage of it? Iโm not saying to WORK WORK WORK with no rest. This opportunity to slow down is incredible. Please, slow down too. But donโt slow down so much that you stop entirely. Being stagnant will eat away at your mental + emotional health faster than you know. โจ Have you been doing any of these?? Have they helped?? What have you been doing to make the most of this season?? Leave โem below! ๐๐ผ๐

Real talk?? Iโve honestly just been feeling so much joy, peace, and excitement for the future this week. Which is wiiiiildddd because if you remember my stories from the end of last week, I was genuinely not okay. I was overwhelmed, anxious, tired, afraid, and hurting. Everything seemed to just hit at once and I wasnโt okay. โข So I just wanted to share a couple thoughts with you today. โข To the person who is feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and afraid: Itโs okay to not be okay right now. Take care of yourself. Rest. SHUT OFF THE DANG PHONE AND TV. Grab a book. Paint. GO FOR A WALK. (Just stay away from people and THATโS ALLOWED from what Iโm reading!!!) Take care of your mind and heart right now. Get enough sleep. Eat well. Drink water. Listen to worship music. Itโs okay to be feeling all the things right now. โข To the person who is feeling FINE (maybe even unusually GREAT? {like me?!}): ITโS OKAY TO BE OKAY!!!!! Yes, the world is upside down right now. But youโre not a terrible person if youโve found a healthy place in your heart and mind and youโre actually thriving in the midst of the chaos! In fact, your peace and joy right now might just be what someone needs to see and feel right now. Donโt hide that right now. Be sensitive to the situation, absolutely. But donโt shy away from spreading your joy in the midst of the chaos. People need you. โข Wherever you are todayโฆ whatever camp you feel you belong to moreโฆ I want to comment below and list ONE thing youโre grateful for right now. ONE THING. There is something SO powerful in actively finding things to be grateful for. So letโs SHOUT THOSE OUT TODAY!!! Lemme hear emmmm!!!!!!!! ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ผ

My thoughts on international womenโs dayโฆ ๐ค x Itโs International Womenโs Day. YAYYY GO GIRLLLSSS!!! I love empowering women. CLEARLY. But as Iโve been reading posts + seeing stuff online todayโฆ I have a few thoughts that I want to share: x I just wanted to take a minute to celebrate the incredible, strong women that surround me daily. STRONG doesnโt mean: arrogant, insensitive, or abrasive. STRONG means: capable, powerful, graceful, kind, and loving. Knowing when to be independent and when to ask for help. x BUT TODAY, I *ALSO* WANT TO CELEBRATE THE **MEN** Because in order to be strong women, we donโt have to step on them. I want to thank all the men who HONOR + RESPECT the women around them. Who cheer us on daily. Who believe in our abilities to be strong + independent + support that. The men who open the doors + offer to carry our things because they want to show us RESPECT - because they already KNOW weโre capable. The men who show their love + support with a servantโs heart in all sorts of different ways. x See, ladies, we donโt have to disrespect, dishonor, or disregard the men in order to be worthy. We donโt have to shove them down in order to stand up tall. We donโt have to step on them in order to have a place to stand. Weโre ALL worthy. Weโre ALL powerful. Weโre all different. We donโt have to hate men in order to truly value ourselves. Thatโs not strength. Thatโs weak desperation, fear, and just plain unfair. So letโs CELEBRATE women today. Letโs celebrate strength + boldness combined with fierce femininity. YOUโRE BADASS. CELEBRATE THAT! But please, letโs not tear the men down in order to feel strong. Most of them are on our team. Theyโre cheering us on too. Itโs not us against them. Weโre all in this together. Maybe take a minute to acknowledge the women who inspire you daily. โฆAS WELL AS the men who are in your corner, have your back, + are fighting for you too. Women AND men who are on your team, making you a stronger person, empowering + inspiring you to chase your dreams. x Tag a few of your people who inspire + empower you to be a better woman. Thank them for being there for you - MEN AND WOMEN. ๐๐ผ๐
