Self-Care
Reflection 2

Mental Health is one of the things that we must be taking care off. That is why
right now, there are a lot of social media platforms, school activities that teaches us on
how to handle our emotions when we face the circumstances that we are struggling to
deal with. Knowing the essence of self-care will give us an edge on what are the things
that we should be doing for us to strengthen our foundation to ourselves.

With the situation that we have right now, it is really so frustrating to not be able
to do things that we should be doing. It feels like there is this kind of thing that prevents
us from improving ourselves. That is why taking care of our self, right now, should be
prioritize in order for us to do all the things in our everyday life. Prioritizing yourself first
is not equivalent to being selfish because, if you think that you need to take care of
yourself in the midst of pandemic, this just means that you are preparing yourself to a
though battles ahead. Or rather, you are just taking a break after all of the negativities
that you’ve heard around the country and all the negativities that you face. Our mental
health is critical because of this virus because it’s not just take off our communication,
face to face, with other people because it also affected the work of our parents and our
plans for ourselves. That is why mental health problems are dominating the lives of
most of adolescence and early adult. If we want to become strong with all of the
problems that challenge us mentally, taking care of ourself is really a great way to cope
up with those things because it gives us a drive to start battling our problems again.

In conclusion, it is really an important factor for a student to know that self-care is

a must thing to do because it will give us the courage everyday and it will restore our
peace of mind whenever we are doing self-care for our mental health. Resting is also a
technique to fight so, if you don’t want yourself to be exhausted for all of the messes
you should rest and take care of yourself.
