Gratitude Journal, yoga, meditation, walks around the lake, therapy via doxy.me, zoom calls with other coaches, zoom calls with friends, comedy shows online, streaming music shows on FB, and last, but not least, music.

These are a few of the ways I make it through the days of changed life. Happy spontaneous conversations with neighbors as we walk the neighborhood masked up.

We rely on creativity in uncertain times. Change has happened, how do we adapt? Life looks different. Do we resist and give in to feeling dejected and down? Do we reframe into thinking about what opportunities this might create? I don’t have the answers, but I ask the questions, hoping something will make some sort of sense. The news is filled with negativity so some days I choose to avoid it to protect my mental health. Fact and fiction can become blurred if one does not ask, does this make sense? Is this logical? Is this balanced? It can be exhausting.
