Now Is The Right Time To Take Care Of Yourself
How are you doing today? Are you ok? What do you need? These are some useful questions to ask both yourself as well as the important people in your life. Everyone is in a state of flux right now. It isn’t easy to know how to handle ideological, political, and safety differences and decisions. One thing you can do is take care of you. Take time in your life to find methods of relaxation.

Mindfulness is another option to produce calm and give you a break from deeper thinking. The act of mindfulness consists of simply being aware. Be aware of your surroundings. Be aware of your breathing. When you're practicing mindfulness, and are entirely in the moment, you are not thinking about what to make for dinner, how many things you can check off on your to-do list, or even considering what to make for dinner. You are present in both your mind and in the space you currently occupy at that moment.
Meditation and mindfulness often work in tandem with one another. With meditation, you practice focusing on the awareness of a specific object, a favorite destination, something that both gives you a feeling of calm and keeps you in that clarity of mind. The act of meditation should help you achieve inner peace and put any anxiety aside, at least in that particular moment. Deep breathing in through the nose and out of the mouth help you relax during meditation.
Try out journaling to both reflect on and record your thoughts. A journal is a safe space to chronicle feelings, dreams, even perceived limitations. Writing down day-to-day activities and any associated musings allow you to reflect on them in the future. Sometimes, the act of putting things down on paper frees your mind of difficulties and frustrations. You can always come back to them at a later date and address any issues, or even better - realize that, with time, some things are not that big of a deal and can be let go of.
Connect with your inner peace to find joy. Practice whatever thing or things in your life that make you happy. Sometimes personal relaxation isn’t found in moments of calm. At different times in one's life, peace is found through activities such as running, hiking or cycling. Perhaps painting or drawing will bring focus and clarity. As long as you find a sense of well-being and the activity isn’t one that you find to be classified as work, it is right for you.
Be passionate about yourself and your needs. Know that you deserve some time out to reconnect with your inner self. Take time to reap the benefits of a variety of relaxation forms to help both your mind and body in these trying times.
