don’t be hard on yourself during quarantine. it’s okay if you aren’t being productive. it’s okay if you’re not feeling inspired. it’s okay if you’ve been sleeping in. its okay if your grades aren’t great. its okay if you’re unmotivated. it’s okay if you aren’t exercising daily. it’s okay if you’re eating more than usual. it’s okay if you’re gaining weight. your routine is different than what you were accustomed to. your life has taken a change. it’s only normal that your habits and behaviors do, too. with that being said though, please remember to take care of yourselves. sometimes too much (or too little) of something can seriously affect your mental health. while however you’re handling quarantine is fine, consider diversifying what you do every now and then as an act of self-care if you feel yourself slipping into a depressive or anxious state. this could be anything: from taking a bath, drawing a picture, or going outside, to baking a treat, playing an instrument, or finishing a show—anything you haven’t done in awhile. sometimes switching things up helps combat negativity; breaking a physical cycle can affect a mental one.
