Being under quarantine is not the easiest thing in the world to adjust to, but many of us are adjusting. It is mind over matter and if you put your mind to making it work, you can do it. More than 6.6 million have filed unemployment and that is a sobering statistic that can cause a lot of stress. Even more people are losing their jobs daily and some are wondering if they will be next.
We are living in challenging times, nothing is guaranteed. But we have to make the most of it because we are in this together! The whole economy is in a dire situation so don't think you are the only one going through, you are definitely not alone.
Keep your mind focused on positive things. Love on your family, come up with creative ways to have fun with one another. Step out to get fresh air. If you are able to, take a ride to a neighborhood you don't frequent, make a dish you've never tried before, clean the house, gather clothes and other items to donate, come up with a dance routine, solve a crossword puzzle, color, plant a garden in the backyard, play games on your phone, watch a movie, write a book, through a virtual party.
There are literally tens of things you can do to give your mind a break on all that is going on. Stay healthy, be safe and cautious, but don't give up on having fun and enjoying life as much as you can. You can do it, WE can do it together.
