Stress. Anxiety. Frustration. Fear. Uncertainty. Have you felt any of these emotions lately? If so, you are not alone. The COVID-19 pandemic and recent stressful events are taking a toll on our emotional, physical, social, and financial health. Self-care is hard for many of us during 'normal' times. How are we supposed to manage all of this? There are three common problems with a lot of self-care advice:
1. It is too basic (yeah...I already know I'm supposed to exercise, eat right and go to bed early!).
2. It creates extra work during an already stressful time. ("Do this new thing, this new thing, AND this new thing and you'll turn your life around!").
3. It's unrealistic (No, most of us can't actually do it all, especially during times like this. Some balls will drop!). In this presentation, we will explore a better way to do self-care.
