Exercise and make it easy to do. I got a peloton bike and just made it a habit in the morning. I then eased into yoga at night.

When Covid hit, 4 kids home/remote job/divorce all hit at once. I have to do something hard enough that my brain can shut off worrying about the thing. Lizard brain has to be active enough to think threat is gone and shut off.

The hardest days for me are intentional rest days/weeks where I have to be mindful of not having that same release.

Any one of those in isolation could be crippling, but all together?

I just wanted to say kudos for finding healthy outlets to manage.

Each one of those could be an insurmountable challenge for most people. I’m glad you were (seemingly) able to pull through.
