As parents or caregivers, sometimes it seems we spend all of our time taking care of our family's needs, especially now in Miami North East and Miami Beach during COVID when everyone is home more. I don't know about you, but I've found all that "need" eventually makes me burn out if I don't make the effort to take care of myself too.
It's certainly a lot harder to fill your family's emotional needs if your own emotional bank account is on the empty side.
So here are 6 ideas on how you can find that important time for yourself too in Miami North East and Miami Beach, even during the time of COVID:
1. Spend time outdoors
Nothing is better for the soul than getting outside and taking time to think. A walk around the neighborhood suffices, but why not head out on your own or with a friend to a great hiking spot or enjoy a water sport for an hour or two?
2. Plan a romantic date night in
I have friends whose kids can't wait for nights they get popcorn for dinner and can watch a movie on a laptop in bed. It's the height of childhood luxury! They don't know it's their parents' way of sneaking in a date night during COVID. Want to give it a try? Here are our favorite locally-owned date night places to order food from:

Relax, lie back, and feel your everyday concerns wash away by giving yourself a fantastic manicure and pedicure, a new hairstyle, or a stunning facial. There are so many great salons to choose from in Miami North East and Miami Beach. Whichever one you choose, your newly energized self will thank you. Here are three open and with COVID precautions in place:
4. Try something new
It's easy to get bogged down with all of life's "busyness." Take a little time away and explore an activity or hobby you've always wanted to try. From individual hobbies like photography or quilting to group activities like paint nights, running, or cycling groups, there's something for everyone.

Spending time alone is good for the soul.
