Whether you are working from home, unexpectedly homeschooling multiple children, or dealing with new financial realities this month, this quarantine provides us all with enough stress on it's own without the added pressure of projects and robust personal growth goals in the mix. However, many of us find we have more time on our hands than ever before, even if just in the in-between moments we're having at home. And we've found that small habit adjustments like the below have perked us up and given us some life while we spend more time at home.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, sit this one out. So many of us are committed to turning lemons into lemonade, mistaking an over-zealous sense of personal accomplishment for 'positivity'. Sometimes true positivity just needs a nap and a good cry in order to make it through the long haul.
Peruse our list and learn more about these good habits with some of our links to classic stories. Get inspired and find a few projects that inspire you or simply sit back, brew some tea or pour a glass of wine, and enjoy the idea of these new habits for a near future in which we hope we'll all have a bit more energy...
