As most people are working and studying from home right now, I wanted to share some concrete, implementable ways you can help yourself feel better. Though I believe productivity and quantity of work done (or lack thereof) doesn’t/shouldn’t translate into your self-worth and how you view yourself, when you get work done, you actually do feel better in your own body. 

By the way, it’s the first time I’m formatting a tips/guide post like this, so I apologize that I couldn’t be more concise.

I’ve spoken to a licensed professional counsellor as well as to some professionals who have been working from home for a long time, and some of the advice above is from them. I’m also sharing from my own experience as someone who used to be very productive and an (ex-)overachiever, and still attach a lot of my self-worth to grades and other tangible accomplishments. I hope these slides can help you. In case it’s hard to read, I’ve included it (reworded) in text form if you’d like to read more. 

read that novel you’ve always wanted to start reading

watch a movie, and i don’t mean watch a movie on netflix, actually go to the cinema on your own. thank me later

start a blog

take a walk

browse bookstores, even if you’re not going to buy anything (if you’ll be able to resist the temptation of buying a book). just surround yourself with literature

brew yourself some tea or coffee, whichever you prefer

listen to classical music and absorb it, don’t do anything else, just sit there and listen to it

pick up a magazine, ditch online magazines for a while, go for the print

go to a museum

explore cooking or baking

watch the sunset
