It has been a challenging few months as the world faced the COVID-19 pandemic. Not everything has been a bed of roses this year. Nonetheless, it is essential to remain positive and keep your energy level high to keep the stress away. Here are five pointers to help you get through this together, emerge stronger as we welcome the new norm.
- Prep for your next vacay
I’m sure all of us miss planning for our vacations. “Where should we go? What should we eat? Where’s the ultimate insta-worthy place?” Although our chances of travelling this year remain low, we can still plan and gear up for our next vacation. This way, you can grab your #baerebaes and be ready whenever the government declares that it is safe to travel again.

Spend the next few months getting fitter and healthier by following these fitness channels. They have a variety of videos, ranging from 10-minutes short videos to 1-hour long workouts. You can sneak in a video or two in between work to energize and de-stress with Maddie (madfit), Pamela (pamelareif) and POPSUGAR fitness.
- Play dress up and plan your outfits
Take this opportunity to dig out hidden outfits for some mix-and-match. You may discover new ways to wear certain apparels and accessories that have been sitting in the back of your closet. Do a quick photoshoot for memories’ sake and it will definitely be helpful when you are packing for your next vacay.

- Meditate
Here at baere, we believe in stripping down to the essentials. Ultimately, you should nourish the essentials of your life and get back to basics. Working from home and the lack of social interaction may have negatively affected your mental and emotional well-being.
Try some meditation with Headspace, The Mindful Movement and Eckhart Tolle to refocus and rejuvenate your soul.
- Show some love for your friends
Aside from ordering delivery for your friends, you can prepare your own care packs as well! Make this a fun activity for your family to enjoy and bond over while shopping for snacks and drinks, accessories and clothes. Customise each pack according to your individual friends’ tastes and they will surely appreciate it.

Even if we are currently in Phase 2, and slowly returning to normalcy, we must continue to make a conscientious effort to stay home and safe. Maintain social distance when you are out, don’t touch your pretty face with your hands and always keep hand sanitisers in your bag for a hygiene perk-me-up moment.
