I may not be the best person to give advice on wellness, but through the straining process of getting my life together during a global pandemic, I have understood the importance of taking time for my mental health.
​
Days may feel long and repetitive, and on some days, my motivation is M.I.A. I combat this by taking an hour or two out of my busy workday to rest and refresh my mind. Whether it's cooking, going for a drive, a short nap, or a walk with my dogs, I find time to create a clear space to relieve unwanted stress. You should be taking breaks throughout your day, to listen to your body, hydrate, and refuel.
​
At the end of your day, take some time to reflect and decompress. Clearing and organizing your space will allow you to start fresh and creates a clean environment to work the next day. Before heading to bed I like to talk with family, perform all my nightly routines, and take a break with my favourite Netflix show or book. I recommend doing something you enjoy to end off your day, just ensure you get to bed at a decent hour as you'll need at least 7 hours of sleep to allow your body and mind to repair.

Stay safe, stay motivated, and take time for your mental health! :)
