Sometimes (a lot of times), I wake up and immediately start scrolling on my phone. Or I feel a rush of panic and anxiety. Or I start going through my to-do list for the day. Or I wake up from my alarm feeling disoriented and off. Sometimes, I just wake up and I am instantly overwhelmed for no reason at all. So what do we do when we feel this way? What do we do when the morning routine and all the self-care doesn’t have the impact we want? What do we do when we are overwhelmed by all of it?

Anxiety and the Transition to Post-Quarantine Life

We are not quite in post-quarantine life yet. We are just barely even at the point of transition. And yet, it feels like there’s something looming around the corner. I felt a bit of a shift near the end of last week, and honestly, instead of feeling relieved that quarantine may be over soon, I’ve felt more anxious and even a bit sad.

The Best At Home Self-care Practices

I didn’t really want to write about the corona virus. To be honest, I didn’t take it very seriously a couple weeks ago, and then it blew up and now we are all staying home trying to flatten the curve. It is such a change in our realities that it’s hard to even grasp. There’s so much I could say about it, but I don’t think it is necessary. There are enough people commenting and sharing their opinions about what’s going on out there and I don’t want to add to that stress. What matters most right now is you and your self-care.
