How Are YOU Holding Up?

TRY TO STAY AWAY FROM THINGS/PEOPLE THAT INCREASE YOUR ANXIETY. We all have our own way of dealing with a crisis, and some of us do better than others. If you have the emotional energy to give to others during this time I encourage you to do so. If you are feeling drained and are having a rough time it is OK to pull back from those that are adding to your stress level.

DON'T COMPARE YOUR QUARANTINE TO OTHERS. There are some people who are crushing the at home workout game. Some of us are crushing oreos. Some people have elaborate homeschool activities for their kids, and some of us are letting youtube teach them nothing. This is NOT a competition. We are all doing our best, and yes maybe it isn't our ACTUAL best. THAT IS OK.

WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM ALL OF THIS? It is important that we walk away from all of this with something gained. Can we appreciate bumping into our regular friends at Starbucks? Do we appreciate our time with our families a little more? Have we learned to appreciate our alone time? Are we more aware of how much actual human connection means to us? Have we learned that The Tiger King makes our lives seem less insane? Try to do some reflection maybe e ven create a list of things that you appreciate more so when this is all over, we become better because of it.

Stay Fearless and hang in there! Aison
