It’s the beginning of a new year, yet we’re still living with what feels like a never-ending pandemic. Here are 15 reminders that physically can help you in challenging times like these…
To:
orgasm
breathe with your stomach
move & sweat
feel relaxed (lowered shoulders, calm breath and no tension in your face f.ex.)
physically and emotionally be close to people you love
touch and be touched
embrace scents and flavors you love
increase your HR
lower your HR
get enough deep sleep
be comfortable in your own skin (to comfortably walk around naked, f.ex)
not have injuries (and if you do, take care of them)
have a sense of direction in your body
tune in

I could say “so just do yoga, have sex, do your training, eat, sleep, breathe, be close to/with people you love and you’re good” – but we all need different things in this life. So I would say try to make sure your glass is filled up with your needs, and the rest will not be up to us.
Unsure what your basic needs are? Maybe this can be a good time to dig a bit deeper into who you are and what you need.
And as simple as all this sounds, we all struggle. That’s ok. Mental health issues are very real and so is depression. But hopefully these pointers can help you to give yourself a fighting chance.
