While this topic is still fresh on everyone’s mind, let’s have a little chat about the power outage in the midst of a global pandemic. The effects of this power outage could range from not being able to charge your phone to not being able to live-stream your instructor or get schoolwork accomplished. For me, it was a little bit of both. As a result, I took a step back and used that time to engage in a self-care activity.

My go-to self-care activity is typically journaling but this time I wanted to broaden my horizon and check out #TakeCareOfYouGSU. The YoutTube video I viewed was the “Let’s Paint” Take Care Of Yourself Tuesday. This video was roughly 15 minutes long and for 15 minutes, I was able to take my mind off the stressors of school, work, and the idea of not having power or the internet. I guess you’re wondering how I did this with no power or internet…..Well, my phone was luckily charged (which is rare) so I was able to use my data, I lite a candle and enjoyed an imperfect moment with a perfect self-care activity. 

As the semester is closing out and you feel overwhelmed. Take a step back and check out #TakeCareOfYouGSU for a quick and easy self-care activity: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u2f8TCFwMFQ
