Balancing Life with Self-Care Your Self

Maintaining a good balance between our work and personal lives is a challenge. At least before the pandemic, we were able to leave work tasks at the office. Now, since we are working from home, sometimes it can be difficult to separate being on the clock and being with family. Community Partner Carolina Varela from Uplift Family Services talks about her work environment before and during the pandemic, providing virtual services to parents and her self-care method. It’s important to take breaks throughout the day to help ease the mind from the workload. When it’s time to disconnect at the end of the day, do an activity for as long you need to unwind, and perhaps connect with family and friends. Be creative and enjoy peaceful moments.
