Self Care with Salt of the Earth
By Smart Marketing
If like many UK residents you are self-isolating, it can be difficult to maintain a routine and look after your mental wellbeing. Even for those who consider their mental wellbeing to be strong and healthy, social distancing can be difficult, and often self-care is the first thing to be neglected. The team at Salt of the Earth have put together some helpful tips to give you some ‘little lifts’ throughout the day to motivate you whilst working from home, boost your self-confidence and generally improve your mental wellness.
Stay Active
One great way to boost endorphins and keep yourself occupied is exercise. Whether you are a weightlifter or a yogi, many industry giants such as Nike have made their fitness apps free during the COVID-19 crisis. Try downloading the Nike Training Club app to access pro workouts, or the Down Dog apps for guided yoga classes and HIIT. Until 1st May 2020, Down Dog are offering their apps (Down Dog, Yoga for Beginners, HIIT, Barre, and 7 Minute Workout) for free. They are also extending free access until 1st July 2020 for healthcare professionals.
Take 10 for Zen
The coronavirus outbreak is a stressful time for everyone. Whether you are a healthcare professional, business owner or an office worker, taking 10 minutes out of your day to practice mindfulness is a good way to give our brains a break. We suggest downloading a guided meditation app such as Smiling Mind (it’s free!), reading a chapter of a favourite book, or listening to some of your favourite music.
