COVID-19 BINGO: A Self-Care Planner for the Time of Coronavirus.

Well, it’s not quite Bingo, but it is a way to approach your time amidst the upheaval. This is not meant to push you towards productivity, please, use with self-compassion. 

• An example sheet is provided above with ideas for areas and activities for each.

• Blank versions are provided so you can customize to your liking. Choose the areas most important to you and focus on one or two tasks or practices for each.

• Don’t put pressure on yourself to fill the card every day or any day. Go for a line. Four corners. One is good. Just the freebie is enough.
  YOU ARE ENOUGH

• Instead of being proactive, you can also use this as a reflective tool. Notice at the end of the day the ways in which you naturally looked after your wellbeing without intentional effort. What does this tell you? Are there practices you’d like to engage in more?

• Above all us, be kind and gentle with yourself and others. Some days you'll probably need to forget about structure entirely - This is okay. 

Two things to always keep in mind:

- This too shall pass

- You are not alone
