Feeling the pandemic blues lately? You’re not alone. 2020 has proven to be a challenging year for everyone, and it looks as though there may be more challenges ahead before the pandemic is over. With that in mind, The team here at Vibant thought we’d remind you that now, perhaps more than ever, self care is of utmost importance.
So, what is self care? Simply put, self care is a deliberate, self guided practice, one in which you engage in activities and behaviors that take care of you. They could be as simple as ensuring you’re getting enough time to sleep, taking some time to do a leisurely activity like reading or taking a walk, or as complex as making yourself your favorite meal or anything else that makes you feel happy. There are no strict requirements, rules, regulations, or the like, so long as whatever you do feels like you’re taking care of yourself.
Why is self care important? We’re facing difficult times, and while it’s easy enough to ensure that our physical needs are being taken care of, our psychological and spiritual needs are often neglected in such times. With so much stigma still attached to issues around mental health, this can make such needs difficult to talk about or even acknowledge. Any act of self care, no matter how small, is a step towards acknowledging and addressing those issues, and ultimately feeling better.
