.  1. Plan and schedule 💻 📔 . In this difficult times it’s really easy to fall behind and get anxious because of the drastic changes you could be facing in your daily life. By planning your week, you won’t fall behind of work, study or even self-care.

2.  Reinvent your organization systems 📁. Sometimes, it’s really difficult to stick to one organization system, because of time or your current life situation. That’s why, it’s important to do a weekly review, soyou can see and think how things have been going and how can you improve it. And try out different methods until you find the ones that wor for you.

3. Take rest times (A MUST) 💤. The same way you schedule study and classes time, you should do with the rest times. It’s important to give yourself time to relax and unwind after all the work. This could mean taking time to nap or sleep more, doing yoga, playing with your pets, get into a hobby, take a bath or meditate.

4. Get deep into hobbies 💃. Maybe you already have a hobbie, like drawing or dancing, but it’s also common to not really have one (or maybe you think you don’t have one). This time at home could be perfect to get deep into them or to create a new one. Recently, I’ve been reading more (for myself I mean, since I usually read for my thesis a lot) and dancing to Kpop around the house, since my body has the urge to move.

5. Drink water and nurture your body   🥐 . Water is really important for the body. Dehydration can cause headaches, exhaustion and even a feverish state. It’s really important to drink lots of water a day. If it’s difficult for you to keep on track with your daily water intake, you can always use an app like Plant Nanny.

 Also, try to eat better and avoid junk food all that you can. For this, you can plan your weekly meals on weekends or free days and, at the same time, create a grocery list. It will save you money and time, and it will make difficult to eat badly. 

6. Self-discover 🌌. Ariana Grande already said this:  

You (anxiety) don't wanna leave me, but I'm tryna self-discover. Keep me in your orbit and you know you'll drag me under. - Nasa 🚀, Ariana Grande. 

The confinement could play hard and be really cruel on us and our mental stability, so the quarentine is a good time to discover yourself. 

For this you can:

- Read self help books. I recommend like Quiet: The Power of Introverts by Susan Cain 

- Journaling

- Create mood boards to clearly see your goals in life

- Experiment with fashion and make up (If you are into it)

7. Create new habits 🌱 .   By establishing a habit, and doing it with self-discipline everyday, even if it’s a small one, it’s enough to make it a habit.  A good book for this is (surprise!), Atomic habits by James Clear. Also, you can track your habits with apps like Grow.

8.  Find your personal style 👚. I’ve always struggled (like almost anyone I think) with finding my personal style. So, during quarentine I’ve been really observant about what I love to wear from my wardrobe, and which pictures I liked and saved more from instagram. This simple way made me see what was my style, in which i felt confident.

9. COMMUNICATE with your friends and family ☎️.  You could think: ‘but I don’t have nothing to tell them’. You don’t have to tell them anything special, just asking about how they and their families are is more than enough. Caring for your loved ones is more than enough. You don’t need to be an “exciting person” (whatever that means to you).
