| The current state of things may bring up moments of fear, worry, stress, and anxiety in many of us. While physical distancing (also known as social distancing) may make it harder than usual to work with these feelings, it is vital that we engage in wellbeing practices that can help us cope with whatever arises. Below are a few resources that can help us stay engaged, active, and connected during these difficult times. We hope that you will find these useful as you identify practices and routines that support you. Remember to give yourself latitude to do so imperfectly. We are all working to make sense of these drastic changes to our daily lives and imperfectly doing so in community. |
