In response to COVID 19

“Its Going to be Ok”.

That's the message we need to internalize in this very difficult times. Washing hands often and social distancing are the new norms for us. With stress levels rising around us it's also important to keep calm and cope with our own anxieties. Keeping kids busy and organized is hard work at times, of course depending on the age of kids. If you are working from home or if you are going to work everyday take some time to relax after work. 

I have put together a list of things we can do to cope with all the stresses around us. It is by no means a complete list, but I hope it's a start. 
* Take time to meditate even for 3 minutes in a day.
