7 Work-From-Home Jobs Hiring This February

Well, we’ve made it one month into 2021. Phew. January was a wild month and if you’re like me, you may be walking into February feeling extra exhausted. Whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed like this, I try to remind myself of the self-care basics: (1) get enough sleep, (2) eat a balanced diet, (3) maintain a healthy support network, and (4) exercise.

For a long time, I thought self-care was just something that influencers blabbed about on social media. Being chronically ill, I’ve spent countless hours organizing medicine, taking medicine and sleeping. I always thought that taking care of my illness was self-care, until 2020 happened.

Last year was stressful, trying and even tragic for people across the globe. Not only was I balancing outside stressors, but I was also trying to get my business off the ground during a recession. I would spend night after night staring at the ceiling, worrying about anything and everything. I was gaining weight and feeling completely out of whack.

I came across an article written by a fellow contributor of The Mighty called “How Parents of Kids with Disabilities Can Practice Self- Care During COVID-19.” No, I’m not a parent, but this article sparked something inside of me. I realized that all this time I was focusing on my illness, but not on my overall well-being.

My realization was that in order for me to be a successful boss, partner, daughter, friend, etc., I need to practice self-care. This doesn’t mean I need to get massages or use exotic face masks every night, but rather, I need to invest in my mental and physical state. So, I’ve gone back to the basics. Here’s my self- care routine that I’ve been practicing successfully for the past few months:

• Get enough sleep: Each night I aim for 8 hours of sleep. Tired during the day? I take a quick nap and get back to work.
• Eat a balanced diet: I try to make sure that I’m adding veggies to my meals, even if I have to hide them. I also make an effort to drink 64 ounces of water each day.
• Maintain a healthy support network: Quarantine is hard and I often find myself craving social interaction. I’ve said goodbye to Zoom happy hours and replaced them with calling one positive friend a day. In the past few months, I’ve made deeper connections with my friends — across the globe.
• Exercise: I’m the last person you’d ever see at a gym. Exercise doesn’t have to mean lifting weights or running a 5K before work. I’ve been walking every day, aiming for 10,000 steps per day. Getting fresh air and moving has done wonders for my mental health.

I am by no means an expert in self-care, but I wanted to share these simple practices that I’ve implemented into my life this year. It’s hard to manage work, an illness, relationships, and your overall well-being, but finding the right balance has been key for me during this wild year.

If you are new to these monthly articles and wondering why I’m writing about all of this, my name is Hannah Olson and I’m the founder of Chronically Capable, a digital talent marketplace and community that connects chronically ill + disabled jobseekers to flexible job opportunities. We have always believed in the importance of creating space for the chronically ill and disabled to work and excel at their jobs without feeling like they have to sacrifice their health.
