Self Care-Teuntje

-
 It can be hard to take time for ourselves during the corona crisis and it is something that is important for our mental and physical health. Selfcare is often generalized and put into one category it is usually seen as bubble baths and facemasks, which is not a bad thing but it isn't as appealing to everyone. The truth is that selfcare can look different for everyone, wether it be sports, reading or being outdoors. I hope that I can help you take some time for yourself and recharge. I am going to help you find something that helps you take care of yourself by sharing some ideas. Maybe all of these sound fun and maybe non of them do. Either way I hope that i can help spark some inspiration for selfcare. 

Working out
Working out is a great way to keep your body healthy and happy. You can go for a more intense workout or do a less intense workout. Here are some links to videos you might find interesting.  
This first one is a 20 minute workout that will leave your whole body feeling exercised and you dont have to have a lot of training skills to participate. 



The next one is more high intensity and it is full body aswell. Both of these videos are perfect to follow if working out is the way you wont to treat yourself. But don't limit yourself to my suggestions, the internet is full of workout videos and there is a perfect video for everyone. 
Reading
Reading is more calm way of selfcare, you can sit down relax and indulge in a good book. The key reason that many people don't enjoy reading is because they just havent found the perfect book. My tip is to talk to people who have read many books about what they would reccomend for you and before you know it you may be hooked. You can talk to people online or talk to friends and family who like to read. 

Social
Social selfcare is very important for many people, talking to people is what makes us human and it can really lift your spirits. Not everyone is always in the mood to talk to people but it can be really nice to contact close friend or old friends and just catch up if your country has strict corona rules you can do this online or in person. Going to a class wether it be online or physical is also a great way to meet new people and create more contacts. 

There are many differen types of selfcare and its important to take care of yourself. I hope that you will find and give yourself the time to recharge yourself. If you want more inspiration here is a chart that shows all the different types of selfcare:

As you can see selfcare is not limited to one thing only and there is something enjoyable for everyone.

Screentime During Lockdown-Teuntje

When in lockdown its easy to spend a lot of time behind your screen, obviously we need to be behind our computer for school but we can try and switch between on and off screen when we are free from school. To make sure your eyesight doesn't get worse optometrists recommend that after 20 minutes of screentime you should look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This is the 20-20-20 rule and is a very simple rule to implement into your daily life.  You can also substitute your screentime with other activities, obviously something outdoor such as a walk in a park or some outdoor activities by yourself (or with the amount of friends allowed in your country,) is best option but if the lockdown in your city doesn't allow that there are some other options for you. You can do something indoor such as an art project or an exercise video. Other articles on this blog will also help you with finding activities to do instead of your screen. Although we need to watch out with our screen...
