Yoga & Meditation
Yoga is a wonderful way to get your body moving and connect with your body and mind. After you do a yoga session take 10 extra minutes to do a little meditation. Sitting with your breath has always been the most effective way to practice mindfulness.
Have a Movie Date by Yourself
Don’t feel guilty for removing yourself from the other people in your home to have a movie date by yourself. Turn on your favorite movie and snuggle up with yourself. Being in your own space can be very rejuvenating.
Escape with a Book
Reading has always been seen as a great escape for many and now more than ever it is a welcome escape. Books do not bound us to one reality and that is why they are so special. If you are able to even read one chapter a day it can be a great source of alone time.

The power of puzzles
If you are not a puzzle person then now may be a good time to start. If you don’t have some puzzles at home then I suggest ordering one online or pick one up on your next trip to the grocery store.
Nature & Recharge
We all know the powerful recharging powers that being in nature can provide us. The smells, sounds, textures, and primal energy of nature can center us, relax us and recharge us.
In some cultures like Japan, they call this “forest bathing“. Some people use “grounding – standing on the earth barefoot” as a way to use the power of nature to recharge us.
Research forest bathing or grounding, or simply incorporate a nature walk into your day. Try our 30 day connect with nature challenge to get you started.
