A Note from Lesley…

We’ve now approached the 1-year anniversary of our lives being upended by the Covid-19 pandemic. And even with the quick creation of a vaccine, many of us continue to feel the on-going effects of isolation, stress, and grief. These effects have left us depressed, anxious, even numb in our minds, bodies, and spirits. I, personally, have also discovered that certain thoughts or experiences “dig-up” feelings from this past year, similar to those who experience PTSD. And I have found out I am not alone (see another article here). To help, I have discovered that being honest with myself (and my trusted loved ones) about these feelings has been most beneficial to my mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual health and wellbeing. This means that...

When I am exhausted beyond belief, I say no to my “to do” list and rest. 

When I am feeling stressed, I slow down and breathe. 

When I am sad, I don’t hide it or keep it to myself. 

So how do I, do we, move forward to heal our wellbeing post-Covid? 

Like many things, I believe it’s up to the individual, to you. But we need to start with being honest and addressing our needs. So what is it you need? What will help you moving forward into this spring and summer?
