The COVID-19 pandemic has locked us all inside our houses, locked away from everything outside. This forceful physical distancing is meant for our well-being so that we don’t get infected from the deadly coronavirus.

Whether it is schools, universities, or workplaces, everything is locked down. A vast majority of the workforce (especially those working in the IT & ITES sector) is working from their homes.

We take care of our parents/spouses/partners and also the bills in our daily lives. Most often, we don’t take care of ourselves. That’s important. We all know that but we tend to neglect. This unexpected lockdown has given us the opportunity to take care of ourselves and learn self-care. That’s really important.

There are innumerable YouTube videos giving tips and suggestions to self-care. But which one is effective and worth listening to?

To make your journey of self-care smooth during quarantine, here are some of the best YouTube videos that will help you understand how to take care of yourself:
