#BeWellUGA at Home: Make Time for Self-Care

April 15, 2020April 9, 2024 #beWellUGA, health promotion, health topics

Try these strategies for self-care while you are staying home.

  • Set boundaries with social media. Be intentional to seek out trusted sources and positive messages. Take breaks away from technology as needed.
  • Continue to communicate with support systems.  Who is one person you look forward to connecting with this week?
  • Change up your environment while social distancing.  Take a walk or spend some time outside.
  • Play an old school board game, read a book, watch a movie, call a friend, and set routines that are manageable.
  • The UGA library has a number of books available online. The public library also offers lots of free books and magazines through the RBdigital app.
  • Use this time to be present: download a meditation app or search a guided meditation to follow along. Take some deep breaths.
  • Listen to your body.  Rest, disconnect, stay hydrated, and grab a healthy snack to provide much needed fuel for your body and mind.
  • Color, journal, or make a dream list of things you plan to do in the future.
  • Enjoy some hot tea or another warm drink.
  • Reconnect with music you haven’t listened to in a while.
  • More free time? Learn a new skill, like baking bread or making quick pickles. Low on supplies? Try a website like Supercook which will suggest recipes based on the ingredients you have on hand.
  • Keep your routines and stay connected.  Pick a specific time and choose a self-care activity to do with others. Then, video chat or text about your experience.
