Self care during shelter in place

Fresh or dried ginger, hot water, steep until the perfect concentration. Sip slowly while watching Frozen 2 with your resident grandchild. Breathe. All will be well. You have got this.

Warm water, epsom salt, pumice stone. Soak for 20 minutes, then gently rub feet with the soapy pumice stone and massage with brush working your way from toes to lower leg. Recruit your partner to assist you if this is difficult on your own. Practice asking people for help so it becomes easy and that you stop debating whether you deserve help.

Grab your foam roller and decide: wall or floor. Position yourself to start at your tailbone and then slowly work your way up your spine.
breathe. I like to do 6 mindful breaths on each area of tension, but you may need more. Or more frequent sessions.

Yoga in the shower is also one of my favorites. Something about the hot water is so soothing and spa-like, I add essential oil to a soapy sponge and have it on the floor with me and it fills my lungs with eucalyptus or peppermint.
