Self-care is more important than ever when you’re dealing with difficult times, and the current health crises put all of us in a tough place. If your usual self-care methods aren’t working, here’s how you can change your approach.
Reach Out
You’ll notice you need the understanding of people more than ever while being stuck at home for weeks. If talking to your friends and family simply won’t cover it, finding an online therapist is also an option.
Unplug
With so much time on our hands, we’re all spending more time using social media and reading the news, but if it’s doing you more harm than good, try to unplug as often as possible.
New Methods
If a stroll at the park, lunch at your favorite restaurant, and a shopping spree used to be your go-to self-care methods, you’ll have to find equally fun things to do at home.
No Pressure
Don’t put your pressure to be productive by starting a side hustle, learning a new language, and becoming a pro chef. You already have enough on your plate, and staying healthy and safe one day at a time is the only thing you have to do right now.
