For many, the COVID-19 pandemic felt overwhelming and stressful due to longer work hours and caring for self and others. More people experienced anxiety, fear, anger, sadness, and helplessness. Self-care is important. It enables anyone to maintain their physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and social health. Practicing mindfulness when implementing self-care can include a holistic approach that focuses on five areas: Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual and Social (PEMSS). The mindfulness approach helps with properly implementing applicable, direct self-care from any of these areas. Approaching self-care from any of these five areas can be helpful in eradicating the challenges of identifying self-care behaviors that are effective for maintaining personal and professional well-being in the face of the unique demands of work. Mindfulness self-care can help identify untargeted self-care patterns and blocks to implementing targeted self-care as well as how to develop intentional, targeted self-care.

Carrier-free nanomedicines exhibited significant potential in elevating drug efficacy and safety for tumor management, yet their self assembly typically relied on chemical modifications of drugs or the incorporation of surfactants, thereby compromising the drug's inherent pharmacological activity. To address this challenge, we proposed a triethylamine (TEA)-mediated protonation-deprotonation strategy that enabled the adjustable-proportion self assembly of dual drugs without chemical modification, achieving nearly 100% drug loading capacity. Molecular dynamic simulations, supported by experiment evidence, elucidated the underlying self-assembly mechanism.
