How to get your life together, how to de-stress, how to take care of yourself. Life can be stressful and demanding a lot of times and it’s so easy to lose sight of what’s important. Here are 6 of my fail proof ways to relax, rewind, and reconnect when the going gets rough (aaand for when I start looking rough 😂).
Even though the past 2 weeks have been really stressful, I was reminded of how being “too busy” is not a good enough excuse for me to not take better care of myself. And that the trade off of being constantly stressed and overwhelmed is just not worth it. So this video is a reminder to myself, and hopefully to you, to make more time for me-dates.
How do you ground yourself during stressful times?
As always, thanks a bunch for being here *squeeze*
