I always think taking care of one’s mental health is important, not just during a pandemic. That looks different for everyone and can range from medication to running daily to eating a specific diet or regular therapy sessions. I think people should use “sick” days at work for mental health breaks and should feel empowered to talk about mental illness. Now, in this uncertain time of quarantine, social distancing and daily fear of contracting a deadly illness, I think taking care of your mental health is more important than ever! 

I wanted to share what I am doing to look after my mental health and practice self care in the hopes it might help someone else!
