4 Mistakes You Shouldn't Make When You're Stuck At Home

Saturday, April 25, 2020

 
Are you stuck at home? This could be due to an illness or it might be because, like a lot of the rest of the world, you’re in lockdown. Here are some of the mistakes that you definitely want to avoid in this situation.

Falling Out Of Your Typical Routine

One of the first mistakes that you must avoid is slipping out of your typical routine. People who work from home usually encounter this problem when they first adjust to their new lifestyle. After all, if you are working from home and there’s no commute and no need to get ready, it’s tempting to have an extra hour or two in bed. You can argue to yourself that this is just adding to the time that it takes to get to the office. Unfortunately, research shows that once you abandon your typical routine, you are far more likely to have issues with sleep which causes more significant problems such as a lack of energy. This could throw your routine further off balance.

7 Self-Care Practices for Everyday Life

Friday, April 24, 2020

Self-care is EVERYTHING these days. Life is crazy busy and overwhelming and if you aren’t caring for yourself you are doing yourself a great disservice. But too often we see self-care as an expensive spa day or a fancy new car to spoil ourselves, when in reality there are plenty of ways to practice self-care both large and small in your everyday life.

Get a Mani/Pedi

You don’t have to go to a nail salon. You can soak your feet in the bath yourself, paint your toenails, and add some polish on your finger nails. Or you can set money aside in your budget each month to get your nails done so you look good, feel good, and take an hour or two to just relax while someone else does the work and pampers you. Don’t neglect things that make you feel good like regular haircuts and other bodily maintenance.

Embrace Therapy

If you are seeing a therapist for ANY reason, congratulations because you’re committing a very important act of self-care and healing for yourself. That means you are prioritizing a need and actually doing something about it. Some people refuse therapy and never even admit they need help with things so if you are currently under the care of a good therapist, good job.

Eat

Yes, it’s as simple as that. You should never go an entire day and only eat 1 meal. It’s just not healthy. While it’s also important to eat whole and nutritious things, it’s okay if you can’t become the #1 meal prepper on your street right now. Just remember to take time for meals. If you plan to be running errands all day, bring a protein bar for lunch or looking for a healthy lunch spot to eat. When you neglect your basic human needs you’re not putting yourself first and practicing proper self-care.

Resting

This is another basic human need. Whether it’s a full 8 hours each night of sleep or an afternoon nap on the days you’re completely run down. Rest is vital for your health. It’s also important to take a day or two to do NOTHING when you feel rundown. Simply rest. Take a break. Let your body and brain recharge.

Moving

While rest is important, staying active when you’re able to is just as crucial. When you stop moving your body, it starts to break down. Take walk breaks during the work day, do basic exercises like jumping jacks at home, take a yoga class and learn to stretch, and get out and explore your town by walking, jogging, or biking.

Read a Book
Getting lost in someone else’s story line is a great way to pamper yourself. Or if you indulge in a self help book, it’s a great way to grow as a human. Books are free at the library, so remember you don’t have to always spend money to take care of yourself.

Play

As kids, we always played. Why should we stop now? Dance around to music while you cook dinner, make little crafts with whatever you have around your house, get an adult coloring book and color, and act goofy and laugh after a long stressful day.

Embrace your fun side and take time EVERYDAY for self-care!

Help! What To Do When You Break A Tooth

If there is one health issue that no one wants to deal with, it's a broken tooth. Teeth are possibly the most unpredictable of all the body parts, and unless the Tooth Fairy is bringing you a golden coin under your pillow, the dentist is not something you think about!

There's nothing nice about biting into a juicy apple only to feel a piece of your tooth break in half, especially if you take exceptional care of your teeth, and you attend appointments at the dentist. The initial panic you feel when you feel that crack? That's the flash of worry because you know you now need to pay for treatment. Perhaps you need to book an appointment with Total Freedom Dental Implants Center to get the tooth replaced. A chipped or a broken tooth can happen to anyone, and it doesn't have to be because of an apple, either. What it does mean for you, though, is that you do need to get it repaired or see what your options may be in terms of getting your tooth looked into.
