Even during lockdowns and shelter-in-place orders, our ceaseless effort to meet our objectives hasn’t changed in theory or practice. For many, these objectives are a source of sanity – but for others, a stressor. The pandemic is affecting every one of us even though our ways of coping differs. So instead of becoming divided and isolated, we can use this time to come together (in spirit!). But this time, it’s all online. Especially since we’re now all healing while away from each other without our usual network of support, we must find a way to make new connections. With others, and with ourselves.

We’ve put together some suggestions that contribute to our overall well-being in a time as trying as this. As the world turns a new page, it’s time we adapt by showing ourselves some kindness. Self-care is a lifelong, all-inclusive pursuit. One that can sail us through a crisis.

Self-care is often perceived as a selfish or superficial idea. Instead, it’s a full-rounded experience. At Authentica, we advocate for engaging the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions to ensure holistic enrichment. It’s only when we feel enriched, that we can be relied on.
