Now months into the pandemic, where everything is uncertain, from whether you’ll be able to find toilet paper in the store to knowing whether you’ll be able to pay all your bills this week, anxiety and stress are on a high for everyone, making the need for self-care paramount. What is self-care? It’s not just about taking a bubble bath (although yes, that can certainly be part of your self-care routine). Self-care centres on taking time to tend to your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Women often have a tendency to take care of everyone else first, leaving taking care of ourselves last, if at all. If that’s you, we’re here to remind you that if you don’t give yourself that TLC to refuel your whole being, you’ll deplete your physical, mental, and emotional reserves. Don’t mistake self-care with being selfish. Taking these intentional steps to respect yourself and your health is what will allow you to give back more to your family, friends, and your community.
These six strategies will get you on the healthy path now as we live through this coronavirus pandemic and into the future. While much of self-care goes back to the basics of living a healthy life, when life’s demands or a global pandemic cause us to go astray, we could all use a refresher.
