I am seeing a trend with my Wednesday post lately and everything has to do with staying sane while we are at home lol. Some of y’all might love this time being stuck at home. Let me say, the extrovert in me had a couple of melt downs the first few weeks of quarantine but I told myself to get out of my funk and make the most of it and let me tell y’all for the most part IT WORKED!! I know it’s not that simple for everyone but everyone copes differently and some of us might be struggling to cope because this is such a weird time that you don’t know what to do. So, I have been researching ways that I can help y’all get through this. One thing I came across was making a self care kit and I thought I would share what I would put in mine with y’all.
When this virus first became a thing, I had SOOOO much anxiety I mean it was so bad, I would go to class everyday scared for my life and then just come home and lay in my bed paralyzed. I wouldn’t eat and I would just cry because this is the first huge event happening in our world where I am an adult and I did not know what to do so I broke down. As you can tell, this is NOT a healthy thing to do and now I have realized that I cannot function like that. What a self care kit is supposed to do is help you when you are feeling over whelmed or stressed or you just feel so anxious. Everyone’s self care kit can be different but I am going to share what I would put in mine!

Since I get a lot of anxiety a lot of these items help with anxiety. Journaling is a great way to cope with things. I don’t always love to say how I feel but I find being able to type or write out how I feel can be super helpful, not to mention, it’s very relaxing. Coloring is also a great deserter and I really love the coloring book I linked below! Another great way to destress is with a weighted blankets. They are known to make you feel less anxious when you sleep and are just super soothing. If you don’t know that I love baths then let me tell you, I LOVE BATHS! I could take 5 a day and be totally satisfied! Bath bombs are my absolute favorite way to unwind and these had over a thousand reviews and come in so many cute colors!
These are just a few things to include in your self care kit but have fun with it and make it your own! If you make a kit, don’t forget to tag me on social media @southernremix 🙂
