Wednesday mental health & wellness day 🩷 Good morning and happy Wednesday! How are you lovely ladies doing this morning? I hope you’re taking the time to take care of yourselves this morning and being mindful of yourself and the world around you! I know that yesterday was voting day and the world was in total chaos! But today breathe, take a few moments to yourself, and keep sipping that morning coffee! Today I wanted to share with you my top 3 favorite wellness goals I try to achieve every month. As most of you know I used to be very spiritual and so meditation is a way for me to calm my thoughts and process them instead of letting them pile up and wondering why my head hurts. If you’re not much of a meditative person, no worries there’s other ways you can achieve a more peaceful calm mind in your morning/day/night wellness routine and let’s talk about those! -Washing your face! Even if you don’t do your full blown morning wash routine just cleansing and exfoliating your face is a refreshing way to wake the mind up and stay focused! Just this morning all I did was clean my face with some water, and exfoliated to help get the extra dirt build up off of my face. Putting on some music- Music in the morning is the best motivational speaker you’ll ever listen to first thing in the morning! I’m a music lover especially in the morning it help keeps my brain focused and calm, while having a good reminiscent morning. Music is also another form of meditation! Last but not least, a good morning walk, I love my morning walks especially on Wednesday morning! Before I ended up with 2 other besties, my dogs I used to take my oldest out for a walk for a good hour before work. I would take him downtown and in our safest neighborhoods! Now I just hang outside w them as they play while I drink my coffee and think about what I’m doing for the day, or for my weekend. Or if I’m having a weird funk of a day I try to sit with myself and find ways to soothe the funk, anger or sadness or I just sit with myself and let it process, sometimes all we gotta do is just sit and listen to ourselves rather than block them away and pretend they don’t exist! Be your own therapist! (In the healthiest of ways of course!) I take this day very personal because we all need a mental day and even if we aren’t able to take the day off we should still find ways to keep our mentality & wellness alive and remind ourselves how far we’ve come, where we are going, and why we’re here! It’s human to have days where we need to take extra care of ourselves, pamper ourselves, and focus on us! We are allowed to! 🩷
