let’s be real, with the stress of our current circumstances, it’s been hard to carve out time to pamper ourselves, let alone, take time to actually relax.
but if we don’t make time to de-stress and enjoy ourselves a little during these chaotic times, we’ll just be running on empty. you know when you’ve reached your limit, when you’re more reactive than usual, feel weighted or burdened, or leaning on to unhealthy addictive behaviors. it’s worth noting if our actions are becoming counterintuitive rather than productive.
in these instances, why not dedicate just one day to completely and healthfully detach from all your obligations and stressors of the world and give yourself the well deserved self-care that’s needed? it may not directly solve your biggest challenges but at least you can better equip yourself with renewed energy and resilience to better handle the inevitable difficulties.
what have you got to lose, but stress itself? this weekend, we challenge you to dedicate one day, to complete relaxation. if you need some guidance or inspiration we’ve made a guide below.
