Self Care

​

It is imperative you practice healthy, self-loving habits during this time. One of the silver linings of this situation is many online services and apps are changing their subscriptions to be free, or are offering free trials so you can try them out. There is so much great content coming out on the Internet now which you can maximize to practice healthy habits and institute self-loving strategies.

​

Here are a few ideas:
