A Simple Guide to Self-Care and Social Distancing

A short guide to looking after yourself when stuck at home as a result of coronavirus social distancing and self-isolation.

Social distancing and self-isolation are critically important to controlling the spread of coronavirus. But they can also be extremely stressful as routines are disrupted, the people you live with start to drive you up the wall, and you begin realizing just how important social interactions are in your life.

To help navigate this new world of social distancing and distant socializing, our colleague Michael Bernstein came up with a great guide for self-care in novel corona times, based on his own experiences. We cover many of his suggestions in this video, and the full guide can be downloaded in the links below.

As Michael says, “The weeks and months ahead will be challenging, but that doesn’t mean they have to be miserable. Knowing what social distancing and (voluntary) self-quarantine may entail is a great first step to being prepared and setting yourself up for a (possibly even) personally rewarding response to these trying times”.
