Takeaways:

1- As we mark one full year in the COVID-19 pandemic: It’s human if you’re feeling a lot of things.

2- Many of us might be hitting a “pandemic wall” at this point—we have endured a hard year, and our minds, hearts, and bodies are working overtime to cope.

3- It might feel endless today, but this time in our lives will pass. Show compassion for whatever you’re able to do right now, and keep caring for yourself as best as you can.
