Intro
Now more than ever, people have become more mindful about self-care. A simple search online can lead you to numerous articles about self-care, such as how to have glowing skin, lose weight, and how to take care of your mental health. There are even apps that can help you with your self-care goals.
But there’s another kind of self-care that people don’t usually talk about, and that’s “community care”.
No matter if you’re an extrovert or an introvert, connecting with like-minded people will greatly benefit your mental health, and in turn, your overall health. This is what community care is all about.
In this episode, we talk about community care and how we can connect with people during the pandemic. We also talk about different ways we can spark new connections online and how you can be a better conversationalist.
