This pandemic has affected everyone in different ways and although we are all facing the same storm, we are in very different boats. Some people have experienced grief, loss, isolation, and disconnection, while others have been able to reconnect with loved ones either in person or virtually, had time for new hobbies, and have a renewed sense of gratitude for what they have. My personal Covid-19 journey has been one with constant ups and downs, with moments of pure joy and those of despair.  This year has reminded me of how strong and resilient I can be in face of challenges. I wanted to take a moment to share some of the ways that I have navigated these stormy moments, when it seemed like my boat was about to capsize. 

During the pandemic many individuals and families are spending more time inside their own homes. This can be a great way to connect with the people you are living with but can also lead to feelings of isolation, laziness, stuckness or an overall disconnection from the world around you and from yourself. Spending time outside in nature is very healing and can actually help us feel more connected and in control of our mind and our body.
