We know that this time of quarantine has been difficult to manage for so many. It can be easy to become overwhelmed with the ever-changing demands of remote learning, managing family needs, and keeping everyone safe and healthy. It is important though to provide care for yourself so that you can provide for others. In today’s Regulation Rendezvous we will be sharing ideas for Self-Care during the Coronavirus Pandemic.
We love this graphic from Pathway 2 Success which provides some great ways to proactively take care of yourself during the pandemic. Sometimes you may get so wrapped up in troubleshooting everything that is making life challenging that it can be hard to make time to do something that makes you feel good.
