Tied Hands

‘Tis a strange time in our world. Restrictions, self-quarantines, toilet paper runs, shutdowns. How very inconvenient for most and emotionally challenging for many. So just a few reminders:

Do what it takes to remain calm There is so much you can’t control, so focus on controlling what you can Reach out to those who are experiencing fear and/or anxiety Find order in this chaos – whatever order means to you Remember, separation does not mean complete isolation Stay informed with reliable sources Advocate for an increased response for mental health Get creative. Figure out ways to stay socially engaged long distance

#socialdistance is the word for the day. But it doesn’t mean your hands are completely bound behind your back. It just means you’ll find imaginative ways to do what you need to do during this very extraordinary time.
