Self care is super important. Just like anything, keeping your mental state in a good place is just as crucial to your overall well being as keeping your physical state in a good place. I think a lot of people forget that even under normal circumstances, for some of us I’m sure it’s worse during quarantine. It’s been almost 2 weeks since I’ve not taken hardly a glance at Facebook in particular. Stepping back from social media for a bit has been very relieving, and honestly I think a lot of people should at this time. Having every bit of normalcy uprooted from your daily routine so much so you have to revamp what you do day to day is definitely stress inducing. It’s been a conundrum of “what am I going to do today” for a lot of people. Not everybody has the drive or the inspiration to get back at a hobby or start something new, sometimes you have to make yourself do things you don’t want to do. I think that’s the toughest part about this. I think keeping your mind occupied is also half the battle, it’s why I’ve been trying to keep things fresh for myself. We’re probably going to be stuck like this for several months I’d say. So I’m happy to say that I’ve rebuilt my daily routine around this whole social distancing quarantine kind of life. There’s definitely things I’m missing like crazy right now, #teamironbodyworks and all the fun lifting we had is definitely at the top. I’d die to do a SBD day right now. But I guess there’s positives to this whole thing too, I’m not as busy on the weekends and I get to spend more time with my fiancée (who sometimes had complete opposite shifts to me). I’m catching up on some things I’ve been putting off doing and have been getting creative with my time, I might just take some of what I’ve learned and continue to use that after things do return to normal. For now I’m doing my home workouts 5x a week and I’ll be enjoying a hot bath every once and a while. Today was cardio. Did I ever tell anyone how much I hate cardio and how shit burpees are? Either way, happy adapting folks💫 #innerthoughts #bathtime #bathbomb #workout #homeworkout #selfcare #ihaveurgestodoheavylifting #mightcurlthose50lbspotatoes #powerliftingquarantine https://www.instagram.com/p/B-z-UK4B3RI/?igshid=1obm520t4crro
