4 Turn your home into a luxury spa

All the gyms and spas are closed? No problem. You deserve a break, so turn your
bathtub into a personal pool of wellness by infusing your bathwater with essential oils

known for their calming effects such as lavender or lemon balm. Light a soy or beeswax
candle, turn on some soft music, dim the lights … and then soak all your cares away.

5 Give your family and friends a call

Just because you need to be isolated doesn’t mean you can’t talk to your loved
ones online or over the phone. Call up a relative or friend you’ve often found

yourself too busy to talk to. They’re also probably feeling overwhelmed with the
current state of things and could use someone to talk and vent to. Simply having
someone to chat with can do wonders for your anxieties, and hearing someone
else’s problems can make you feel less alone too.

Remember, all of this is temporary. It’s natural to feel

upset and overwhelmed, considering the recent events,

but knowing it will pass will go a long way toward
keeping your mental health in check.
