    The document discusses the importance of self-care for physical and psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that the pandemic has disrupted daily life through school closures and social distancing. While remote schooling allows learning to continue, students are still expected to experience learning losses. The document defines self-care as actions taken to improve one's well-being, like relaxing activities. It argues self-care is important to replenish resources, but distinguishes self-care from unhealthy coping mechanisms that only provide temporary relief. Recommended self-care activities include proper sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management techniques.

    MENTAL HEALTH: SELF CARE

    FOR PHYSICAL AND


    PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING

    • COVID-19 is a new type of virus and presents a unique
    situation that none of us could have expected.
    • Its contagious nature have resulted in school closures, social
    distancing, and quarantine measures which have disrupted
    our daily lives.
    • In order to reduce the spread of COVID-19, most countries
    around the world have decided to temporarily close
    educational institutions. However, learning has not stopped
    but is now fully taking place online as schools and universities
    provide remote schooling.

    • Conservative’ estimates consistently indicate that students


    will suffer a learning loss, will influence negatively both
    cognitive and non-cognitive skills acquisition, and may have
    important long-term consequences in addition to the short-
    term ones.

    • Self-care is a broad term that encompasses
    just about anything you to do be good to
    yourself.
    • It’s about being as kind to yourself as you
    would be to others.
    • It’s knowing when your resources are
    running low, and stepping back to replenish
    them rather than letting them all drain away
    • However, it’s important to note that not
    everything that feels good is self-care.

    • These self-destructive activities help us to


    regulate challenging emotions, but the relief is
    temporary.

    • The difference between unhealthy coping


    mechanisms and self-care activities has long-
    term benefit for the mind, the body, or both.
