A couple more tips - detox your social media feeds. Follow therapists, doctors, nature, animals, something your interested in like hiking or art, people with positive helpful messages. If an account makes you feel bad for any reason, unfollow.

Journal.

Read a CBT workbook which usually have journaling exercises.

Diffuse some essential oils. If you have none, boil some orange or lemon peel

Meditate. Learn how on YouTube.

Listen to relaxing music/ nature sounds.

Good ideas thank you❤️

Good list but I disagree with #1.

Going to bed early should mean, go to bed on time.

Naps can be detrimental to our sleep, healthy sleepers can get away with occasional napping, those with compromised sleep should avoid naps.

Sometimes a “nap” can be just lying down in a quiet room but yes I see your point. I struggled with insomnia and avoided my bed until I was absolutely sure I was sleepy enough so I wasn’t tossing and turning and to associate my bed with actual sleep and not stress.

Thank you for caring to share this post.💕

There are some great ideas and we can choose those that suit our individual needs/ characters ..what helps us basically

It gives some ideas which we can add to , or take away as we wish..

Starting something is the most difficult thing..so this is very helpful.

Thank you. Kindness is so important right now in my opinion

Take care ❤️🌻🌻🌻🌻

Hi Coralrose.

Thank you ❤️

I am going to sign off soon and get busy. I have been under the weather and have had plenty of time to answer and read posts.

Now it is time for me to be more active and catch up with stuff I need to do. I am going to do a list.
