All precautions in place at work. Double masking may be difficult for some, but it’s negligible effort you need to put for the health of your loved ones and your patients. Stay at home if you have the privilege. Eat healthy, do light exercises at home and sleep well. Get vaccination as soon as you get a chance. We need to fight it together. Remember, in a pandemic no one is safe until everyone is safe.

One investment which will always give returns is investement in yousrself. And self care, like everything else in life, is all about balance. So there are 5 important domains, a balance of which in our routine helps us grow.
1. Social : While we need to find new ways to connect to people, it is also important to take some "me-time".
2. Emotional : In our daily routine we should include activities which make us "Laugh out Loud" and keep a separate designated "Worry Time" for 15-20 minutes where on can do 'problem solving' for concerns if any
3. Physical : Maintain balance of activities which require you to be physically active with some which help to relax your body. 4. Mental : Challenge your brain by doing something new and stimulating. Sometimes, just let your mind relax, can meditate or lie around doing nothing for 5-10 minutes. 5. Spiritual : Do activities beyond self, may include spending time in nature, doing religious activities. Also, don’t forget to pamper yourself.
