Self care is REALLY hard during these times, and finding safe ways to take care of ourselves is essential.
Taking care of your mental health, just like your physical health, is a necessity.
Self care relies on increased self awareness.
Practicing self awareness can help you recognize patterns in your behavior or emotions, including events or situations that can trigger symptoms of depression, anxiety, sadness, etc.
Putting “me time” on the back burner is a big part of why we can all feel run-down, frenzied, and overwhelmed.
