First things first: I miss you guys and none of this has been easy. I miss having a schedule. I miss going to spin. I miss seeing my friends and going to my office and feeling useful and the same stuff that's stressing everyone else out. I gave myself the last two weeks to really feel all of that before attempting to set up any kind of new normal or routine.

I've heard from more than a few people lately asking for tips on how to manage anxiety and feel better through self care. I have suggestions, but I need it to be super clear that I'm also struggling with this. Some of you have seen this and some of you maybe haven't, but I have this list of ways to sneak self-care into your life and all of it can be done at home.

There are also a ton of wellness type businesses and people who are showing up online to help. Here are some options:

Bright Heart Yoga has been announcing live-streamed classes on their social media
Beyond Barre Randolph has been posting workout videos to keep you moving
Studio M in Rockaway is live streaming some classes on their Facebook
StretchSource has some good online options for focused stretching
Balance Acupuncture is doing online workshops to show you acupressure points for immune support and stress relief
Thomas Droge is doing online qigong classes a few times a week

This is the foam roller that I like.
This is the lotion that I like and might be helpful if your skin is starting to freak out from all the extra hand washing. This version and this version are also wonderful

I know there are more options. What have you been doing to take care of yourself? What did I miss?

That's it for now. Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay home as much as you can. Hopefully we'll get through this soon.

Be well,

Amy
