Remember to take care of yourself today. It's ok if you don't get everything done that you want to accomplish today, as long as you do the main important things: care for your body, care for your loved ones, and care for your environment. Care for your body: Eat enough food to give you energy. Clean and groom yourself, even if you won't see another person today. Allow yourself to experience any feelings and emotions you have (sometimes it helps to write them down). Care for your loved ones: Do something small for your significant other (or a good friend!), even if that small thing is just sending an "I'm thinking of you" text, or picking up their favorite snack at the grocery store, or doing chores BEFORE being asked to do them. Sometimes I send my friends delivery food when I know they're not taking enough care of themselves, and they do the same for me when I'm feeling down. We're all incredibly stressed and confused right now, this is the time to lean on each other, you'll come out with stronger bonds because of it. Care for your environment: I feel a helluva lot better when I'm in a clean room than a messy room. Every morning I take a minute to clean up any trash in my room, straighten my things, and move any dishes to the sink. It's SO easy to fall behind on housework when you're at home all day or when you're stressed, I'm the same way! But a little extra effort to take care of your surroundings will go a LONG ways in improving your mental health, and the mental health of anyone else sharing your environment. I believe in you. You can do this, I promise. It's not going to be easy, but you and your well-being are worth it, and that's what's important.
