Self Care During the Pandemic
We all know the importance of self care however this topic seems to be more important than ever now that we are living through a pandemic. COVID-19 has affected the lives of everyone in one way or another. It has isolated many people from those they love, it has trapped us in our homes and has made even an outing to the grocery store a little more anxiety provoking. The simplest things we all had to do have been changed. The change in our world has created a change in each and every one of us.
So why is self care important?
It has been noted to me on many occasions that people are feeling “stuck” and “trapped” and that they are feeling more sad than usual. Self care can be the simplest task that we often may not even recognize. It is important to notice that we are all experiencing a new kind of burn out and need to focus on what will make us feel better.
Something as small as a walk outside, a hot bath with a nice book or playing games with your family in your home.
The important piece of self care is recognizing WHY we are doing what we are. It is important to ask ourselves the questions such as, “what will make this day a little bit better for me?” I strongly believe that even 30 minutes of self care every day will improve our quality of life and give us something positive to focus on in a time of need.
We take so much time to care for those around us, why shouldn’t we take some time to do the same for ourselves?
