It’s not easy to close your eyes while cooking over a hot flame – and I hope that you’re not thinking of trying it anytime soon. Active meditation is more like my thing.

I made a mental list of things that I’m thankful for and it brought me into a lighter mood. Does it remedy all of my worries? Nope. But it damn sure eased a lot of the rapid thoughts that ran through my head.

Most of us are freaked out over being stuck in a house when someone would gladly take our boredom. Let’s never take for granted that there’s a population out there worried about their safety, next meal and a home long before COVID-19.

Remember to check in with your kids and actually listen to them. Every person is processing this differently daily. And if you have a significant other, remember to not kill each other in this process. 15 minutes of quiet time and separation, even if in another room HELPS.

Reserve your peace in whatever way possible. Just stay home as much as possible while doing it.
