Staying Sane During Iso

-
I’m sure we can all agree by now that staying inside sucks! We all wish we could put on our best outfit and hit the town. But while we are all stuck inside it might be worthwhile adding some of these useful tips and activities to your daily routine.

Upskill
There are so many free options and resources out there to upskill while you are stuck inside. Whether it is something as simple as learning to cook or taking on a new tertiary study. We have a lot of time on our hands, let’s not waste it!

Virtual Game/Trivia Night
This just might be my favourite one on the list. Just hook up an online game such as Jackbox to Zoom, it’s like you are altogether just hanging with friends. Plenty of laughs with some wine, can make your night.

FaceTime
I’m sure it’s a no brainer but you’ve got to talk to someone other than your pet. I love facetiming all of my friends. It’s never the same when you text so pull up that camera, your friends wont judge your pjs.

Staying active
All I can say is go for a walk. It is important to get that fresh air and get your body moving. Staying active releases endorphins into your brain which is one of the happiness hormones, happy body = happy mind. Stay safe, Stay sane. 

Focus on Yourself
With all of this madness going on it can be easy to forget about yourself. Its important to slow down and take time to care for yourself. Whether that is taking a long bath, moisturising, or having that extra glass of wine. You deserve it!

Yoga @ home
With so many YouTube videos for yoga from beginners to advanced, you don’t have to leave your house to stay calm and relaxed. This ties in with caring for yourself, it is important to stay positive and stay sane.

Would love to hear if anyone else had great ideas leave them in the comment section. We can all learn something new.

I feel like this year has flown by, but after reminiscing, I’ve realised that I have done so much and have had many incredible experiences! So here is my 2022 in review! Enjoy! Trips Away I went to Caloundra and Mooloolaba earlier this year for trips away. I spent my days checking out beaches, relaxing, eating delicious food and watching sunsets with good company <3 Blue Hair I dyed my hair for the first time last New Year’s Eve! I’ve kept the tips of my hair blue all year round, just by refreshing the colour every couple of months. I’ve really loved having my hair blue! I think it represents me and my personality perfectly. Hikes and walks I’ve always loved nature and walks, and this year I have continued this passion by trying different trails! I’ve explored Karawatha Park Nature Reserve, Daisy Hill Conservation Park, and Enoggera Reserve, just to name a few! Days at Redcliffe Redcliffe has been such an amazing place to visit on days out! Walking along the pier, gettin...

The Power of Humour

  I believe that humour is a necessary part of my life that I use daily. I respond to humour with laughter, as many of us do. One of the reasons people enjoy humour so much is that it is a wonderful source of entertainment and brings happiness to your life. By using humour, I can be better prepared for when things go wrong. For example, if I am feeling down, I can laugh with my friends, I know that always cheers me up. I recently read an article titled “ Humour, laughter, learning and health! ”. For me, the most exciting part of the article was the interesting points made about trying out humour in the classroom. Research about the uses of humour: This research has led me to believe that humour can be used in many different ways. Without humour the world would be a sad place. One of the most powerful aspects of humour is the way in which it causes people to react. I think that the way we as humans respond to humour unites us. What I mean by this is that we all enjoy...

Relaxing with Reiki

  Relaxing with Reiki Background info Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that transfers energy through the hands of a practitioner to provide healing. It uses energy exchange during the process and promotes stress reduction as it encourages relaxation. In reiki the person receiving the treatment lays on a bed and the healer places their hands on the receiver to their affected areas. Research suggests that reiki treatments are linked with improvements in depression and anxiety. Research has also shown that Reiki can be helpful for improving mood and relieving stress through lowering heart rate and blood pressure, and increasing immune strength. Reiki reduces stress by incorporating music, drums, breathing and training the mind to bring awareness to the body’s wellness. This shifts the body from a fight or flight (stress) response into a more relaxed state. Reiki involves the use of vibrations through the music and drums. Given there is scientific evidence behind the use ...
