Best remedy against depression for me. Well right after sleep, hanging out with friends and eating good. It's low effort (bc I can do it in my room), high reward (endorphins yippee). Personally prefer Lilly Sabri's videos as she has a good balance between being motivational and reminding me to keep good form.
i recently started doing pilates at home along with physiotherapy to help with my jelly muscles and it’s been helping a lot! you don’t need to get new clothes or a specific drink just to take care of yourself!
It’s my favorite thing to do each morning everytime I do Pilates I feel so motivated and happy during the day I always do 3/4 times a week and it’s so good less Cortisol , release of happy hormones and more benefits and also movement is so good for the brain lately I’m so obsessed with neuroscience sooo good It could be just for 8 mn or 15 mn max heres my favorite instructors : - tasha franken

Here’s a video from one of my favorite instructors 💖 Alternatively: * A quick intense workout. I have the Melissa Wood Health app and she and her instructors really keep me sane. This is a free ten minute workout by her on YouTube that I LOVE.
* Meditation. Tara Brach has so many for free on YouTube and the Insight Timer app! Her RAIN method guided meditations are really helpful for processing emotions.
* EFT tapping. Seems wacky but it works… here’s a guided tapping video for depression.
* Eat a sumptuous dessert
* Drink lots of coffee
* Deep clean and declutter! Very soothing
* Hug a pet
* Take a hot bath
As y'all might know, I'm a climber. Which is fun, cute, sexy and I recommend everyone to become one. Only downside is that it's def a male dominated sport. There's plenty of girls who climb, but a large majority (in our gym) is male. Meaning that the likelihood of going on an outdoor climbing trip without men.. is small. Unless, of course, you organise a girls-only climbing trip. I would highly recommend doing so. Men r great but it's also nice to only be surrounded by girls who know what's it like to climb when you have a menstrual cycle and don't have a natural knack for dynamic power. Made me feel supported, seen and connected.
