15 Relaxing Wellness Activities

,15 relaxing wellness activities

It’s incredibly important to take care of yourself and do relaxing wellness activities that will help brighten your day. I am always trying to prioritize self-care and connecting with myself in the best way possible. I have to remember to slow down, take deep breaths, and be in the moment as much as possible. 

Especially being trapped in quarantine and working from home, it can be very easy for me to forget to take care of myself. I definitely have those days where I am constantly on my phone, binge watching reality tv, staying awake until the sun comes up, or sometimes all of the above.

So, I like to have a list of wellness ideas in my back pocket for when I need to get back on track. I have also noticed that going outside and being in nature is extra refreshing for me, since I get so stir crazy being stuck inside all the time. I’m always in a much better mood if I start the day with a little walk outside, so right when I wake up I walk around the neighborhood and pick up a cup of coffee. I  love a schedule and routine so doing the same thing every morning helps me set up for my day. 

When I’m taking my morning walk or doing an activity that is healthy and enjoyable, it calms my nerves and helps me connect to my more grounded energy. Practicing stability and stillness makes it easier to harness those qualities in moments where I am feeling a little more detached or stressed. 

If I don’t take those extra couple minutes to slow down, then I tend to rush through the day and I’m often motivated from a stressful place. In the grand scheme of things, those extra moments will actually save you time because you can approach things in a mindful way. 

Just find a small activity that will clear your head and leave a smile on your face. Give yourself that boost you need and take care of yourself. There are so many things that are out of your control so you might as well do your best with the things that you do have control over. 

Keep reading for a list of great wellness activities that help me recharge my energy. Hopefully, you will get some inspiration from these ideas and even find ways to expand on them or modify it to fit your own needs.   

15 Relaxing Wellness Activities:

  1. Taking a peaceful walk around your neighborhood. 
  2. Exploring the park.
  3. Reading.
  4. Going to bed early & waking up early.
  5. Cut down on your screen time. Highly recommend the “Forest” app for your phone. It makes you set a timer for how long you don’t want to look at your phone. Then, you get points on the app and those points go towards planting real trees around the world. You can truly save the planet by taking a break from repetitively watching your own insta story.
  6. Organizing, cleaning, chores. 
  7. Exercising. I have been going to outdoor spin classes and doing at home yoga workouts!
  8. Manifesting and goal setting.
  9. Staying hydrated.
  10. Journaling.
  11. Meditating.
  12. Stretching.
  13. Listening to music.
  14. Having a spa moment and putting on a facial mask.
  15. Taking a long relaxing shower or bath.

So, I got to spend the whole day on set with my idol and I couldn’t even speak because my voice was completely gone. It was very Little Mermaid vibes.

7 Best Instagram spots in Barcelona

If you are looking for the best Instagram spots in Barcelona, look no further! One of the most beautiful places to visit is Barcelona, Spain. Whether you are a tourist on vacation or a Barcelona native, there are some stunning landmarks and places you must check out. Most importantly, you can take some cute travel photos that can make you Insta-famous overnight.

So, I will be your virtual Barcelona travel guide for the best locations and things to do in this magical city. 

If you want to take some cool instagram photos , keep reading for the 7 most instagrammable places in Barcelona. 

Best Instagram Spots in Barcelona

1. Parc Güell

Antoni Guadi’s famed Parc Güell is one of the city’s prettiest attractions and a nice place to wander for a sunny day. It features a scenic view of Barcelona and vibrant artwork all around, which makes it a go-to place.

Also, the song “strut” from the The Cheetah Girls 2 was filmed here. So, channel your inner Cheetah Sister at Parc Güell and take a cute picture for Instagram.

The most popular photo opportunity is in the Nature Square sitting on a trencadís bench looking over the city.  

2. Carrer del Bisbe, Gothic Quarter

Take a stroll down this adorable and historic street in Barcelona. Strike a pose under the neo-Gothic archway and take in the intricate architecture.

Since it tends to be a very busy street, it is best to go early if you don’t want too many people in the background of your picture. 

3. Barcelona Cathedral

The Barcelona Cathedral is right around the corner from Carrer del Bisbe and it is a sight that should not be missed. This extraordinary Gothic church is right in front of Placa de la Seu in the Gothic Quarter.

It is a busy area so if you are looking for a great photo where it is less crowded, head to the Barcelona Cathedral rooftop, which you can get to using the elevator inside the church.

It is the most picturesque during sunrise and it is surely one of the best views of the city.

4. Sagrada Familia

Sagrada Familia is one of the most visited places in Barcelona because it is such a beautiful monument. It is another place designed by Antoni Gaudi and it is a UNESCO heritage site.

It is inspired by the beauty of nature so the tall columns represent the tree of life. Not to mention, the inside is gorgeous during the day because the sun shines beautifully through the stained-glass windows. It truly is one of the best instagram spots in Barcelona!

5. Palau de la Música Catalana

Palau de la Música Catalana is the only concert hall that is a UNESCO heritage site. It is similar to Gaudi’s work but it was actually designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner.

The concert hall is aesthetically pleasing in every way, including the sounds, colors, and lights.

The most instagram worthy photo to take here is from the balcony overlooking the stage.

There are also colorful mosaic columns on the outdoor balcony that you can pose with. However, to take a photo you have to book tickets in advance for an organized tour of the space.

You can take a cute picture for the gram while also learning about the history of the Palau de la Música Catalana!

6. Arc de Triomf

Arc de Triomf is an iconic red brick monument that is in front of Ciutadella Park.

Most people know about the Arc de Triomf in Paris, but the Barcelona one is bolder in coloring and smaller in size which makes it more fun for a photo.

It is best to go there early in the morning to beat the crowd and for great lighting!

7. Parc de la Ciutadella

Parc de la Ciutadella is a nice and peaceful park for you to visit if you want to enjoy nature and take a relaxing afternoon stroll.

There are also wonderful places for you to take photos throughout the park, especially by the fountain in the middle of the park!

Since it is such a big park, it doesn’t get too crowded so you can find places to take pictures with no one else in the background.

Thank you for traveling with me for the best instagram spots in Barcelona!
