I’m so sorry to hear about your husband, Lynn. It must be so incredibly hard to care for him and also heartbreaking to see him sick. I’m so happy to hear you are taking the time to do things for you. You need that more than ever now! Keep it up!

Great Post Jess! I’m basically slowed down most of the time since I’m a caretaker to my husband with Dementia . It’s very hard seeing your loved one slip away . But, I was finding myself sad a lot and not doing anything happy for myself . No one wears a mask here in Florida and we have a high COVID rate still. We both have been boosteted by I’m still afraid not being in my 40’s any longer of getting sick. I got the energy to call up to see if I could get my hair done at my salon and my stylist had an appointment. She’s fun to chat with and she was nice enough to wear a cute mask from the package I brought her. It felt great to get out . I had a stem broken on my fave glasses and I went to lensrafters and it was empty , but they cannot be fixed. I found an exact pair I had and they popped my lenses in those and now I had like new glasses . I went to the book store and I got 2 books Grace loved and an iced Coffee . It really was amazing how I felt so much better getting out by myself . My home life won’t change much daily , but I still can do a little to get out and change my day . Thanks for the article

After a beautiful trip to Alaska where we spent 90% of our time outdoors & away from technology I couldn’t believe how beneficial it was for my family! We all felt SO much better and happier. Definitely going to read up more of these ideas that you’ve shared here to help prolong that sense of well-being.

I have a firm rule of no phones in the bedroom. This has totally transformed my mornings. Even if I head straight to the phone once I leave my room, I just find I don’t sit and scroll in bed. Nothing needs to be done on a phone the second you wake up. Need to try a few more of these out for sure!

I love these tips, thank you Kelley and Jess! I’ve been reading a lot more and opting for puzzles instead of “searching for something to watch.” It’s amazing what a few days of this has done to my overall mood… I didn’t realize I’d feel a change this fast! But I just feel more at ease throughout the whole day.
