No going back... and no running away either! To cope with this difficult time, we need new stimuli. Isolation, travel restrictions, reduced sporting activity, dependence on technological tools and TV series are negatively affecting our health, both physical and mental. The risk is that we become apathetic, dull, passive and curb our potential and creativity. In today's article we want to propose to you 5 things that are good for the soulgifts to restore oneself and one's well-being. Obviously without having to spend a fortune, move to the other side of the earth (you can't move anyway!) or do anything bizarre... it is the beauty of small things that makes us truly happy!
5 gifts that are good for the soul: gift ideas for mind and body
1) An hour's walk in the open air
Yes, you read that right. One hour. Every day. No excuses. If you want to get rid of that feeling of oppression and loneliness caused by the home, it's not enough to get some air and go out on the balcony for five minutes. Carve out some time for a walk close to home, and you will see that both your body and your soul will thank you for it. Walking outdoors helps clear the mind, stay fit, banish monotony and reduce stress and anxiety levels. It sounds like a trivial activity, but it really isn't; we must never underestimate it. And if you have a dog... well, then you already know the benefits of long walks.😆
2) A good book
Working from home has many advantages such as time flexibility, convenience and remote project sharing. But the smart working mode involves being constantly connected to the computer and spending many hours in front of the screen. And this often causes vision problems, severe migraines and painful headaches. That is why taking a few moments out of the day to read a good book could prove to be an excellent habit, one that is good for the soul. It will help you unplug, banish anxieties and tensions...and you can finally dispose of that pile of books on your desk!!!
3) A do-it-yourself aperitif
The health emergency has led to the temporary closure of bars, pubs and restaurants. No more dinners or lunches in quaint places, no more exotic dishes or alternative cuisines, but above all - and with deep regret - no more aperitifs! Fortunately, this is one of the cases where technology can come to our rescue. Why not organise a long-distance aperitif together with lifelong friends? Through Zoom, Whatsapp and Skype, we can reach out to our loved ones and put our culinary skills to the test. Maybe we will never become novice Masterchefs, but we can certainly have a good laugh while enjoying spritz, olives and savouries.
4) A workout in company
For many, the closure of gyms, spas and swimming pools has meant weight gain, loss of muscle mass, reduced cardiovascular capacity and other physical discomforts. While we patiently await new ministerial regulations, we can still continue to harness technology to bring wellness to us and those we love. How? Organising training sessions together. Just video call the friend, partner, relative you want to train with and keep fit remotely. Together you can do athletic training, yoga, pilates, jumping rope, weights... on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram there are plenty of personal trainers who share free tips and training sheets. Small recommendation: choose a specific day and time and mark it in your diary. That way you will have a fixed commitment you won't know how to say no to!
5) A wellness treatment
Among the 5 gifts that are good for the soul could not miss the wellness treatment, a great way to help the body and mind regain the right mental and physical balance. In fact, one of the best strategies to de-stress and give your brain a rest is to focus on your body's needs. Have you ever stopped to listen to your health? Pain, discomfort, discomfort, itching, swelling... are you sure you have paid attention to all your body's signals? This is what wellness treatments are all about: help the person resolve those physical ailments too often ignored. Cosy environments, heady fragrances, soft lighting and decontracting massages are designed to give you pleasant feelings of well-being and relaxation.
In this regard, we invite you to take a look at the beauty, face and body treatments of our La Cascade Wellness Centre: Treatments La Cascade.
