● Self-Care
As healthcare workers, we need to realize that being stressed is not a sign of
weakness. The whole idea is that we need to slowly accept that this is a difficult time,
and we could simply recharge to make ourselves feel better by looking after ourselves,
taking breaks. We could also stay connected with friends; to learn to communicate our
distress or unhappiness, is an art that sometimes we as healthcare workers fail to do.
Constructive criticism is something that we do need to be mindful of. Wherever you
are in the healthcare spectrum, your work matters at this moment. We need to accept
that we play important roles during this COVID-19 pandemic. We need to respect the
differences that some people might go through due to COVID-19. It is okay to get help
when needed.
