How to Transcend the Limitations 
As we're being asked to limit or forgo our usual range of activities in the world, it can be challenging to make these adjustments. It's normal to look upon self-isolating and social distancing as taking something precious away from our lives, depleting the richness of life. Yet this is a time that holds powerful energy for regeneration, renewal, and self-reflection. We have only to look at nature awakening to Spring right outside our windows to see renewal happening right before our eyes. Flowers are in bloom, the trees are putting out new leaves, the grass is greening, and nature is breathing easier. If you need help refocusing on what's good in your life, we've listed some thoughts below on ways to help shift your mood from stress to one of greater ease. 

Consider the Gifts of this Period:
1. Extra sleep - it's good for your immune system!
2. Parents have real time to spend with their children and families are eating meals together.
3. We're getting really creative figuring out ways to connect. Groups and clubs are meeting virtually. If  you're used to meeting friends after work or on the weekends, get together for a virtual brunch or cup of coffee. 
4. There are loads of online classes, from art courses to yoga and everything in-between, many of them offered at no charge. It's the perfect time to learn something new.
5. There's time for that book you've been meaning to read...
6. We're realizing the power of connection and taking time to reach out to those who need company or an encouraging word.
7. It's giving us time to understand the value of what really matters.
8. We will get through this. Take this opportunity to let go of what doesn't matter and focus on keeping yourself strong and well. 

How to Create a Sense of Structure for Yourself
It can be daunting to face a totally unstructured week. Humans are creatures of habit and we tend to feel better when there's a sense of structure in our lives - it helps to support a sense of purpose and self-worth. Consider what you can do to build a gentle, yet supportive routine for yourself, especially if you're not employed at this time. 

Meals are great way to begin. Your body likes and thrives on routine, so try to have meals at regular times. It's a good opportunity to spend more time in the kitchen. Not only is cooking a wonderful creative outlet, it's a way to nourish yourself deeply with good food. Make it a point to actually sit down for meals.

Try to get up and go to bed at the same times each day. Yes, there may be those days when all you want to do is stay in bed and if that's what you need - do it. But getting up and getting dressed can actually help you feel better about yourself. Make time for exercise - it's a great way to release stress. There are lots of online classes being offered now.

We wish good health and safety for you, your families, and your loved ones. We're all in this together. Let's come through this time as wiser, more compassionate, loving people.
