When you are a parent, self-care personal care is often abandoned at the bottom of the list. But taking care of yourself is not a luxury. It’s essential. And during these difficult times, when children are at home and stress is on a high level, it’s more important than ever. Here are five tips that can help:

1.Look for time for you:

At this time, much of the personal time that was part of the daily routines has changed, so for people who have children to do activities at home is not easy and tends to fall into the routine, so that this does not happen to create space to recharge and do family activities.

2.Prioritize healthy options:

The extra stress and lack of time we’re all experiencing right now can make it easier for us to get into habits that feel good at the moment, but can be harmful in the long run. For that reason, think about eating properly, try to get enough sleep, and create a routine that includes physical activity. These priorities should be considered for your well-being.

3.Be realistic:

Avoid exhaustion by setting realistic expectations and being sympathetic to yourself, parents should remember that these are unprecedented times. “There is no instruction book for this situation. Remember that you are doing your best at a very difficult time. Take a break and a break.

4. Set limits:

Anxiety is on the rise right now. With so much concern and uncertainty in the environment, it can be easy to absorb other people’s fears and concerns without realizing it.

5.Reconnect with what you enjoy:

Proactively think about the things you can do with this forced time at home. Get back in touch with hobbies or activities you enjoy, but no longer have time to do them or make the decision to learn a new skill.

Finally, remember, being kind to yourself will not only help you stay calm during this difficult time, but also help ensure you have the energy you need to take good care of your family.
