Many are those who are keeping inside as Coronavirus cases continue to soar around the world. While doing our part to prevent the spread is imperative, new mum Ashley Graham highlights the importance of self-care amidst this isolation period: “We have to acknowledge that it’s a big adjustement to stay inside all day, so remember to also check in and take care of our mental health. Though the times are tough I choose to hold on to comfort given in the eternal command, ‘Fear not.’ I have faith for the now and faith for the future. As we know faith without the necessary work behind it doesn’t mean much,” the model wrote in a lengthy Instagram post.
Sharing details about her days inside, Ashley is priotising her family: “I’m using this time to appreciate the family time I get to enjoy with Justin and Issac,” she wrote. Insisting that staying inside is the best act to secure everyone’s wellbeing, Ashley commented that: “Even if you’re young and healthy it’s up to all of us to do our part and protect others, especially the elderly and immunocompromised.”
The model also commended public efforts in these difficult times: “I also want to shine a light on those who don’t have the option of staying home from work, those who are missing vital pay checks, and the children who are missing out on free or reduced lunches they depend on at school. Thank you to the healthcare workers who are working tirelessly and risking their own health to protect us all. We’re all in this together, so in the spirit of “love thy neighbor” let’s lead with love and kindness,” she continued.
