Self-Care is Not Selfish
#HealthyRetrievers
We’ve all hit the same
turbulence, a pandemic! Therefore, we all need to take good care of ourselves,
our bodies, and our minds.
Self-care is
the practice of taking an active role in
protecting one's own well-being and happiness, especially during periods of
stress.
Here are some of the areas
that you can keep healthy by practicing self-care: Finance, Nutrition, Mental,
Personal Hygiene, Fitness,
and Social.
There are many areas of need
for self-care. Knowing how to balance each area will help to keep your
well-being in a healthy state - meaning being cautious and aware of your own
physical and mental health. Keeping yourself healthy helps to transmit good
vibes towards those around you.
Some negative consequences of not caring for yourself include:
●
Fatigue
and loss of energy
●
Poor
relationships
●
Addiction
●
Weight
gain
●
Sleep
deprivation
Self-care is not something
that only corresponds to female-identified people; male-identified people are
often misled to believe they must toughen up when it comes to self-care or even
mental health. However, that is not the case! Here are some positive self-care
tips that anyone can use:
●
Take care
of your personal hygiene (e.g., shave/trim, wash your face, etc.)
●
Sweat
out the stress
●
Prioritize
your needs before others. This is not selfish!
●
Manage
your diet
●
Schedule a
checkup with your healthcare provider
●
Get mental
health support. If you feel vulnerable, reach out and talk to someone!
●
Fuel and move your body properly!
●
Stay socially connected with loved ones and friends
●
Get enough
sleep. Do not skip sleep to get more things done

These
unprecedented times could be hard to deal with and hard to adjust to, whether
you are a student or a parent, here are some tips
·
Knowing
how to deal with and take care of your mental health is crucial for your own
well-being. Everyone reacts and copes differently. This resource
gives you ways to reduce and take care of your stress/anxiety.
·
Not
knowing where to go for help? MHA’s Mental Health & COVID-19
Resources can help you during
these times of uncertainty.
Remember, self-care is not
selfish! You must fill your own cup before you pour into others’.

DoIT Offers Start of Semester Student Technology Sprints
Make sure you're tech "self-sufficient" to learn online
The start of semester is always busy, but especially during a global pandemic. We got through Spring 20, but since every student will likely have at least one online or hybrid Fall 20 course, the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) strongly recommends that all students check they have the necessary technology setup to be successful. To help, DoIT is hosting 12 Sprint sessions for 10-minute, virtual walk-in consults or pop-up support groups on key topics that include the following:
Getting Online*
Getting A Computer*
Checking Your Blackboard Collaborate Audio Connection (essential)
Using Virtual Computing Lab & Software (recommended)
Using myUMBC Groups & Webex Teams for Student Clubs & Organizations (8/26, 8/31, 9/2 and 9/9 only).
The Sprints will occur across four weeks from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the following dates:
And from 11 a.m. to noon on the following dates:
Mon., 8/31, Tues., 9/1, Wed., 9/2, Thurs., 9/3, Fri., 9/4
Tues., 9/8 & Wed., 9/9
Due to the short format, these virtual support sessions are designed for quick consults, not deep dives or customized training sessions. Also, you will likely be in a virtual room with several people who also are interested in the same topic, and being helped by a DoIT support staff member. Often, you can learn by listening to this Q&A, but if you want a personalized consult, please use my.umbc.edu/help to open a Request Tracker (RT) ticket.
About the Sprint
The sprints will take place in a Blackboard Collaborate virtual conference room. Use the link for each event up to 15 minutes before the start time. While you can just “show up,” advance registration -- by indicating you are “Going” through the myUMBC event link above -- is appreciated and can help DoIT gauge how many support staff are needed in each breakout room. However, if you require live closed captioning, advance registration is required.
Prior to the session
If this is your first time joining one of our live sessions, please review the Getting Started Guide. You will also find additional helpful information for using Blackboard Collaborate at our extensive FAQs.
For the best experience, we recommend using Google Chrome or a recent browser update. Closing any unnecessary browser tabs will help conserve your bandwidth. After joining the session, please configure your audio.
* Note: As announced to all incoming students on 7/22/20, since UMBC requires all students to have a computer and Internet access, financial aid may be used to meet this requirement. To learn more, students should contact their financial aid counselor at financialaid.umbc.edu/contact.
