I think we can all attest to the fact that has been a year like no other! But all of that came to a screeching halt in March, when the country began shutting down in response to COVID, the novel Corona virus.
Here we are 8 months later, still adjusting to life while living through a global pandemic, in addition to experiencing one of the most contentious election cycles in U. Research tells us that the holiday season is the most stressful time of the year for many people.
Add COVID testing, mask wearing, and social distancing, to the mix and you have a recipe for disaster! Thus, if you are co-mingling households during the holidays, take the necessary precautions.
With COVID cases on the rise, concern for our physical safety continues to be a priority for most. Our collective mental well-being has received some bumps and bruises over the past several months. In response, alcohol sales are up, prescriptions for anxiolytics and anti-depressants have reached record highs and there are more food porn posts on Instagram than ever before.
The desire to feel safe and nurtured is a part of being human. But how do we nurture ourselves in a healthy way? And we have seen our fair share of loss this year. Yoga, meditation, mindful eating, journaling, and crafting. Walking, hiking, running, cycling, swimming, dancing, or any physical activity you enjoy.
