Although staying at home, on a comfy sofa binge-watching all day Netflix sounds like the dream, all of this time we’re having to spend indoors, can drive us all a little stir crazy and we soon start to miss our everyday chaotic life.
Every week our superstar Glider Rahual holds mindfulness sessions to help our Gliders practice a healthy, balanced mindset and he’s awesome at it too. So, to help make this uncertain time that little bit easier, Rahual has shared his best tips to help you. So whether you’re isolating with your uni mates or with your family, keep these in mind and encourage those around you to do the same.
The to-do
- Appreciate that you have a place to stay inside
- Take care of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally, any form of exercise helps.

Mindfulness is more important now than ever, so try and set time aside each day and do as much of the above as you can. Alongside this, there are a number of online video’s where you can physically practice mindfulness at home.
