Being comfortable is super important to me when I’m at home. When I go out, I have to wear heels and dresses that might not feel the best on me even when they look great on me. When I’m home, though, it’s a completely different story. Being at home is the place where being comfortable should always be a top priority.
Being Comfortable Just Got Real
Today, we’re all living in a world where we have to be at home. There’s no other option. Instead of being upset that I’m not able to go places, I’ve decided to embrace it. I’m embracing no more heels for a while. I’m welcoming wearing clothes that feel so comfy and cozy. I’m making being a comfortable part of my DNA. If I have to be at home, I’m going to make the most of it.
While events make my blog splashy, they’re not where the real work happens. That happens right here on my computer. It happens when I edit my photos and give my post a final once over to be sure everything is the way I want it to be. So while a lot may have changed, a lot is the same. Because being comfortable is so important to me, I’m making sure that I feel good both inside and out, and I have some tips to help you be as comfortable as possible, too.
Tips to Stay Comfortable in Mind and Body While at Home
Besides staying busy and doing things you are happy with (like gardening!) it’s important to remember that being comfortable is more than just cozy clothing, although that’s a biggie for me. Comfort is also feeling good in your heart and in your body. My tips today will help you find comfort in your clothing, your body, and your spirit.
Drink Lots of Water
Staying hydrated is so important to your health. The human body is over 70% water, so the more hydrated we are, the better our bodies work. When our bodies are functioning at their best, we feel better, so drink that water and keep up with those healthy eating habits.
Eat Healthily
With ever restaurant offering delivery options now, it can be tempting to just order in all the time. This is not the path to being comfy. Don’t live off of fast food or rich foods. Instead, eat your fruits and veggies and choose lean protein. It will help keep you feeling energized and more focused. Plus, we all know that overeating is NOT comfortable. At. All.
Meditate
Daily meditation in the morning is a great way to take being comfortable to the next level. These are scary times, and meditation can help us keep our minds clear and focused. Just about the most uncomfortable feeling in the world is having a mind full of stress and worry. Take 10 to 15 minutes every morning to meditate or pray or just be still. Calm your mind so you can be more comfortable in spirit.
More Family Time
I find comfort in my family, so while we’re all stuck here together, I’m making the most of it. Of course, we have to give each other our space so we don’t drive each other crazy, however, we’re also having more family meals and game time. It’s great bonding, and it makes the heart so happy to spend more time with loved ones.
Wear Comfy Clothes
One thing that really makes being comfortable easier is comfy, cozy clothing. Pull out those favorite PJs. Wear those leggings. Live in sweats. Why not? You’re not going anywhere. While you’re getting your cozy wardrobe in place, why not find some new pieces to make being comfortable both cozy and stylish?
If ever there was a time to make being comfortable a priority it’s now, and you know I’m all about a sale. That’s why I’m loving this romper. Super comfy and totally adorable!
The Plum Pretty Sugar off the Shoulder Petaled Romper is a dream in a huge floral pattern that the best of comfy and adorable.
The Jenni Lace-Up Hoodie & Pants set is like wearing a cloud! It comes in tie-dye or leopard print. Sassy.
Nike’s Yoga Women’s’ Dri-FIT cutout leggings have that snug comfort I love about leggings with a simple design and a cute cutout accent at the calf.
Like sweats, but classier, the 32 Degrees funnel neck top is super soft and drapey. It’s also not too warm, even though it has long sleeves.
The Nike Yoga Women’s Dri-FIT racerback jumpsuit is a super soft jersey jumpsuit that feels like wearing the softest full-body tee shirt.
The Jenni super-soft ribbed pajama tee shirt is everything we all love about sleeping in a tee-shirt taken to its perfect form. It’s so soft and cuddly.
This has been one of the most interesting few weeks of my entire life. We are still trying to get used to our new normal.
You and all of us. It’s temporary, I don’t plan to make it my new norm, that is for sure. Stay safe, Heather.
Great tips. For me meditation is key and I have been meditating every day.
That is a great start. Meditation is so relaxing and a smart way to start the day.
I’ve been thinking I need to increase my comfy clothing supply…and here are the ideas I needed! Thank you!
Glad I could help, Sula.
Love this post and appreciate your airing! I am loving that Nike tank and pant suit… very cool and love that it is one piece. I just purchased some new workout gear as my daughter and I have been walking every day and I am running low on outfits. I aim going to check out a few of the ones you have above as they are super cute!
Awesome! These outfits are perfect.
These are all some really great tips. I’m really enjoying my family bonding with my kids . They bundle up in my bed and we binge watch our favorite shows
Awww that is the best! Cuddling with kids to watch TV, is priceless.
Great tips for making these days at home a little more enjoyable! Thanks for sharing…stay safe!
Thank you, Catherine, you too!
Loungewear is nice, but admittedly, I am finding myself stuck in a rut mentally if I constantly wear too much comfy clothing. COVID-19 has got me feeling down, and getting dressed for the day and doing my hair and makeup has actually drastically helped my mental health. But these all look super comfy for sure! I’ll be stocking up on comfy clothes when the stay home order is lifted so I have nice clothing that’s comfortable to wear to bed.
I need to start taking your attitude. I feel I’ve been wearing pijamas for the past 15 days.
Thank you for these tips. I have been meditating a lot more since the outbreak and reading more too.
That’s great. Funny the things we are doing now, that we didn’t before.
wow love the comfy clothes ideas! i need to start buying them more since i actually work from home as a VA….i just hate changing them cause they always smell like food LOL!
Oh yes, these would be ideal for you!
I probably won’t be wearing any of these (LOL), but I fully support the idea of being comfortable at home. One of the best parts of all this social distancing is not having to wear pants. I’ve been rocking boxers for two weeks!
Hehe, well you might not but perhaps Vera will?
These are such great tips! I am doing meditation and wearing all comfy outfits at home ☺ Great post.
These outfits are perfect for Meditation!
This is a very wonderful post. While others may find it boring to just being at home, it is important that we see the silver lining always. Thanks for sharing this amazing and doable tips to us.
You are on the right path!
These are totally a great tips and we’ve been doing these for almost 3 weeks now as a family. This lockdown thing is not giving us a chance to go out but I am thankful because it’s given me a lot of time to spend with my family.
I am so happy to hear that!
so many cute comfy clothes outfits you posted. i love comfy clothes. wore my onesies a couple times since the lockdown started
That is one great thing about being isolated.
What cute comfortable outfits! They look perfect to sleep in — because I would fall asleep in them LOL
Oh yes super comfy alright!
I’m a home buddy so it was not too difficult for me. Although, I miss playing tennis and walking a lot. I need some fresh air after!
Same here. I am usually home all week.
So glad that before this I managed to find a water bottle that tells you when to drink water, it’s great to stay hydrated
That is a neat bottle!!
Yes I think being comfortable and looking after yourself and wellbeing is key right now. Yes to eating healthy and making sure to drink lots of water – always a good idea

Totally agree with you, Laura.
i’m all for being comfy when at home. i’m loving these outfits! i def have to check these out.
There is no place like home especially when you are wearing the right clothing.
Great tips and fashion – I agree, we need not only to stay physically healthy, but also mentally until the outbreak is over.
Totally agree.
what I love about this period is we can have more quality time with the family. However, I am stuck here in my apartment alone with my cats. I really want to go home to my hometown and be with family.
Oh No! But at least you are staying safe and helping others as well.
Great tips! You´ve inspired me to get new clothes for home, especially a yoga jumpsuit! Looks so comfy!
Yay! You will not be disappointed.
