Life is dynamic, not static.
Change is happening whether we wish for it or not. If two years of these extraordinary times have taught us anything it is that we can be resilient and can adapt to change, even when it's dramatic.
I hope we can all take that resourcefulness and use it to make a difference in our self-care. The action towards self-care can be small, but see if you can chose one that you can keep up with.
Journal a few sentences in the morning. Do a one minute meditation/breathing cycle. Take a walk around the block. Put down your phone for the first three bites of your meal and just focus on the taste of your food and the way your body feels as you eat. At the end of the day think of three things that you are grateful to have experienced. Make your bed a place for sleep and affection but nothing else.
If you start with one goal and it doesn't feel "good enough" after a week, try another.
The point is to take a small incremental action that you can integrate easily into your day (or night.)
Here's a start: When in doubt---breathe in, breathe out.
Take good care.
