Sickness.
It happens to all of us.
It keeps us feeling down. It keeps us moping around. It keeps us in bed, surrounded by a box of tissues, various medicine bottles, and of course, Netflix T.V Shows and Movies.
Whilst it keeps us feeling like absolute garbage, at least for the first day or two, try to not let it get the best of you. In fact, use this time to treat yourself (because, after all, we can all use a self-care day!).
Here are my Five Tips For When You’re Feeling Sick.
Tip #1: Drink Tea & Water:
Perhaps this one is an obvious one. However, it is, nonetheless, an important one. After all, not only does staying hydrated cleanse your body of any bacteria, but it also helps prevent breakouts.
Tip #2: Take A Warm Bath:
Tip #3: Sleep:
Let’s face it.. Perhaps one of the main reasons as to why individuals get sick is because they don’t get enough sleep, causing their immune system to weaken. Use this as an opportunity to get more sleep than you normally would. You deserve it.
Tip #4: Stop Stressing:
I’ll admit it. This one is probably the hardest not to do when you’re sick, especially if all the work that needs to be done simply gets piled on and on and on. However, stressing is perhaps one of the worst things one can do when they are sick, which is why you should avoid doing so in the first two days of feeling ill. Let your body relax. Sleep (Tip #3!!). One you feel rejuvenated, you can tackle all that needs to be taken care of!
Tip #5: Use A Face Mask:
Nothing screams self-care like a late night face mask. Whatever face mask you decide to use, it is sure to give you that extra bit of confidence that you did not know you needed whilst feeling ill. After all, confidence is key.
