What you can do

Suddenly, we find ourselves in un-chartered territory.

We have heard from you - we know you are feeling stressed, worried, uncertain and afraid. Schedules have shifted, life is different. You are doing your best to keep up with it all. 


For some, navigating and managing constant change feels easy, perhaps exciting.  For others, not having that routine and predictability is down right terrifying and anxiety provoking. You may be finding that you have more time on your hands than you know what to do with or perhaps you are working non-stop and are busier than ever before...

Please know we hear you and we are here for you. 

When you are feeling stressed or perhaps even bored try on one of these suggestions:

1. Put your phone down, turn off your notifications, turn off the news and stop with the social media scrolling. If you feel the need to check news/social media, set a timer for 15 minutes and limit yourself to that time frame once or twice each day. You can get all of your updates during that time. Trust us, if there is something you need to know - you will find out!
2. Blast your favorite dance music and dance wildly! Mood dancing, baby! Let yourself go for 5-10 minutes. Moving your body in this way helps you release stress and tension in your muscles, it gets your heart rate up and the endorphins flowing. Invite whoever is home with you to join in. 
3. Pull out a board game and play with your family. In our house, there is nothing like a friendly game of Scrabble. Playing will keep your mind focused, its fun and who doesn't want to debate if YOWZA is an acceptable Scrabble word? (It is according to the Scrabble Dictionary.)
4. Fold your laundry. Seriously, it can be quite meditative and relaxing and a basket of laundry doesn't take long to fold. Take your time to fold each article of clothing mindfully. Breathe deeply. Feel gratitude for it. Show it care and put it away neatly. You will feel calmer and have a sense of accomplishment once it's done. 
5. Finally, stay hydrated (its a great time to resume your hot water sips), rest, move your body, get fresh air, breathe deeply, meditate and practice yoga, take a class with us (they are all virtual right now), be around people you love, check in with your friends and family. And find something to be grateful for each and every day. 

Take care and be well. ​
