Practice self-care
How often do you take the time to appreciate the beauty and magnificence that is you? Well, if you didn’t do it regularly before, then now is a great time to start. There’s no rule book when it comes to self-care. However, some ways you can practice self-care include reading a motivational book, listening to soothing music and meditating. It’s all about doing something for yourself that makes you feel great and relaxed.
You can even take a long, warm bath and cleanse your skin with a fragranced body wash to leave your skin refreshed with a natural glow. Pamper yourself with LUX Glowing Skin Body Wash from the new Botanicals range, infused with natural ingredients to leave your skin feeling and looking radiant. How’s that for self-care?
Take up a new skill
Some women have more time on their hands now that we’re social distancing. If you’re one of the women that do, then why not use this free time to learn a new skill? Learning a new skill can bring you joy, a well-rounded personal life and a more successful career. The best way to start is to pick an online course that interests you. Online courses allow you to learn at your own pace and in the comfort of your own home – so don’t worry about falling behind or having to leave your house. Check out Udemy for a wide range of awesome courses to keep you busy and inspired.
Exercise
Exercising does wonders for your physical and mental health. Research shows that exercising reduces anxiety and enhances your mood. This happens because your brain releases feel-good chemicals called endorphins throughout the body as you work out. So jogging a few times a week could make the biggest difference in uplifting your mood.
Just remember to take a shower afterwards with a cleansing beauty bar soap to wash off sweat and leave your skin smelling and feeling amazing.
Create a gratitude list
With everything that’s going on in the world right now, it’s easy to feel stressed or down on most days. However, maybe writing down a list of things you’re grateful for can uplift your mood on days that you’re feeling a little under the weather. Keep updating the list daily to remind yourself of all the great things and people you have in your life.
Keep your positivity on lock with these tips.
