The entire world is going through a difficult time right now. Anxiety, grief, despair and a vast of negative emotions are so prevalent. And in fact, quite necessary to allow ourselves to process our current reality. But as we sit at home and await the curve to flatten, we can only control our own individual responses and intentionally choose to make the best out of where we are.
