14 Ways to Stay Sane and Connected During the Pandemic
Well into 2020, though the virus rages there is light at the end of the tunnel. But the collective stress, worry, fear and grief levels have been chronically high over the last many months. And the strain on relationships have had consequences too. We all could use a deep breath in, slow exhale and mindful, compassionate attention to ourselves and those we love. This has been rough.
On my other site, LoveAndLifeToolbox.com, around this time I typically post a “Best of Emotional and Relationship Health” wrap-up at the end of the year. At the end of the challenged past year, I adapted to the times to rather take a larger view at at the entire library of my content to find the most helpful pieces to help you get through this pandemic emotionally and in your relationships.

As the light shows itself at the end of the long dark tunnel, now is a good time to make sure your emotional and relationship toolbox has what you need. I for one am looking forward to reconnecting, peace of mind, freedom, stability and joy on the other side.

Be well and hang in there.
