How are you? Sometimes it’s hard to check in with ourselves in the busy-ness of daily life, especially in these pandemic days when our self-care options are limited. High stress, depression, and anxiety tend to feel like personal failure. In today’s show, I want to offer you perspective and encouragement.

Show Highlights:

How to interpret your feelings during moments of stress

How to approach the new considerations brought on by the pandemic: masks, social distancing, virtual connections, etc.

Why life is hard in many ways right now for most people

Tips on how you can feel better:

Remember that you are resilient

Getting help is NOT failure

Honor your exhaustion by taking a break and setting boundaries

Check in with your sleep, eating/hydration, hormones, and stress

Turn “What’s wrong with me?” into “What’s going on for me?”

Take time to reflect and allow space just to BE
