5 Self-Care Tips To Get You Through Virtual Meetings
Campus Wave ambassador Chiara Carpenter shares her ways to help get you through virtual meetings!
2. When you log off, put on a face mask and enjoy yourself. Interestingly enough, beauty rituals were tied to an individual’s spirituality, health and happiness. Taking care of your skin can improve your overall mood and mental health. Incorporating skin care into your daily routine allows you to enjoy times of rest and increases the release of dopamine and serotonin (the “feel -good” neurotransmitters). “Skin care is self-care”.
3. Reach out to your friends and family when you need to talk. Venting helps you process your emotions. Having conversations with your peers can also help you come up with solutions on how to deal with the stress created in the academic or work environment. Venting to someone who is in a similar situation as you can also help by making you feel heard and understood. Always try your best to ask for permission to vent before you do so.
4. Stretch, do yoga, or meditate. Take the time to relax your body and muscles. Stretching will increase your blood flow and improve your circulation. Yoga lowers your blood pressure and can help you clear your mind and connect with your body. Meditation is an extremely powerful form of mindfulness. Meditation improves your self-awareness and increases your patience and tolerance.
