Self-Care during COVID-19

What is self-care?

Self-care is any activity that we deliberately do in order to take care of our mental, emotional, and physical health. At the same time, it is not something that we force ourselves to do, or something we do not enjoy doing. It can take many different forms, as seen in the graphic below. Not all of these acts need to be accomplished, but notice what interests you, what you might be missing, and what may be manageable for you for to start doing. Benefits of self-care are improvements in our immunity, increased positive thinking and it makes us less susceptible to stress, depression, anxiety, and other emotional health issues.
