2020 has definitely been a tough year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try to end it on a positive note
With the pandemic keeping us all at home for the most part of the year, it’s totally understandable that we’re feeling stressed and anxious. That’s why it’s important to practise self-care.
During these trying times, self-care may not seem like a priority, but even doing small things can go a long way in helping to ease your mind and improve your mental well-being. You should never feel bad for taking some time to take care of yourself.
Self-care is different for everyone. It’s all about what makes YOU feel good.
Some may like to spend the day pampering themselves with a home spa or going on an online shopping spree, while others might like to just read a good book or binge-watch their favourite shows all day.
Self-care can even be as simple as taking a nap, video-calling your loved ones, or treating yourself to a good meal.
Looking for some self-care products? Check out these amazing ones from the finalists of the Alliance Bank-EcoWorld BizSmart® Challenge 2020:
