Quarantine will be over "soon". Once we're sprung, how will you spring?

Awesome TED talk we reference:

"What Trauma Taught Me About Happiness"

Boating accident victim Lindsey Roy created 5 questions as a filter to pour your life through as a way to reinvent after trauma.

Whether you think it's good or bad, you're right. (So make sure your thinking cap ain't too tight.)

You don't have to stop hurting before you start healing. Heal as you go...and hang in there!

Make this quarantine work to your advantage. And make a cake!

The Seven Pillars Of Health

Occupational - in your current job or industry are you happy/challenged/curious/using your strengths. Do you know your strengths? Take the Clifton Strengths Finder.

Physical - start, continue or change your workout routine.

Emotional - keep it optimistic and positive. Look for the helpers, be the helper. Picture life after quarantine in a dream-big kind of way. People and earth healed, opportunities hurling toward you, a fresh start and a new cool perspective.

Spiritual - determine your values, make a pledge to live by them, spend time alone, be fully present as often as you can. The now is stress-free.

Intellectual – learn (something new), create, (something you've been wanting to), solve problems around the house or with your relationships, do crossword puzzles, or jigsaws…your brain needs a workout too.

Social - setup a regular friend chat online, or a socially distanced walk, or a family game using an app - Psych is a blast!

Environmental – recycle, compost, you're already driving less so consider other forms of transportation too like biking or walking.

IN THIS WACKY TIME MAKE WACKY CAKE!
