Self-Care During Quarantine

by - 5/19/2020 12:00:00 AM


During these times of uncertainty. It’s really easy to forget about self-care. Now more than ever. It's so important to create and implement a healthy self-care routine for yourself. I understand for some that getting out of the bed each morning can be a task in itself. The most important thing is for you to be easy on yourself and your mental state during this time. Right now, is not a productivity contest. The tips and examples below are more suggestions and ideas.

Self-Care During Quarantine

Bucket List
It’s super easy to create a quarantine bucket list. I easily created one in my planner, and it actually sparked the idea of creating a monthly bucket list for myself, instead of quarterly of a yearly bucket list.

Bucket List Ideas Example
  • Read a new book
  • Cook a new recipe 
  • Try a new skincare routine.
  • Walk for 30 minutes.
  • Do a puzzle
  • Mediate
Daily schedule
I never knew the importance of having some type of structure and stability until I became an adult. Create a daily schedule for yourself and stick to it. This schedule can be as simple as the example below.

Quarantine Schedule Example
  • 6 am- Wake & Hygiene
  • 6-7 am - Breakfast
  • 7-8 am - Journal
  • 9-12pm - Learn (this could be just browsing through Pinterest and/or doing Google Searches.)
  • 12-1 pm - Lunch
  • 1-3 pm - Time Outside (i.e. garden, walking, hiking, etc.)
  • 3-4 pm - Productivity (Clean House, Organize, Clean Car, Create a grocery list, etc.)
  • 4-6pm - Hobbies (Gardening, Painting, Reading, Baking, Cooking, etc.)
  • 6-7 pm- Dinner
  • 7-10 pm Winding Down & Hygiene
Create a Meal Routine
It’s so easy to create unhealthy eating habits. Now more than ever is a great time to create a meal plan and stick to it. This should also assist with cutting down with your grocery store runs/delivers. Sit down, and create a meal plan for the week or entire month.

Pamper Self-Care Day
Don’t forget about a day that’s all about catering to yourself. I like to have these days on Sunday to jumpstart the new week. However, you can do whatever works for you and your schedule.

    I've certainly been doing a lot of self care during quarantine because I think it's REALLY important to focus on yourself at least a little bit every day. THAT WAY you're the best you can be for others!

    Your day is complete even in these tough times. I do not meditate but go on a daily walk. This is a good time to get things done that I have been putting off.

    We really don't have a schedule. I find if we had one it might make people cranky. So we're pretty lax and so long as my kids get their schoolwork done, I don't care when they wake or go to bed. But yes, self-care is so important! I make sure I read for mine!

    I like the idea of creating a schedule to help me stay on track. It's so easy to veer off the routine though :)

    Self-care is very important! I have a routine that hasn't changed too much since the pandemic started. I'm lucky that two of my kids and husband are home with me, so I have a lot of good company.

    It can be a really depressing time for many of us. Make sure to put yourself on the top of your list right now.

    Yes you are right, we need to take care of ourselves especially this time. I always find time how to relax myself and have some sort of quiteness by keeping myself busy. Thanks for the tip. I will adopt some of your thoughts there.

    I started the couch to 5k app and am on week 5. I can't believe I am sticking with it and didn't quit! I plan to run my own little 5k around here somewhere. It's my bucket list item for sure.

    Self-care can be so hard at anytime of year, I think right now even more so. I know I am struggling to look after my own mental health.
