Welcome to week #2 of the Mental Health During COVID-19 series. For the coming weeks, we're going to be doubling down on caring for ourselves from the inside out: cleaning up our minds together, trying out new tools and concepts, and taking a moment for ourselves in the midst of this pandemic.
Today we're talking about Mental Distancing.
We're all pretty much pros at social distancing by this point. But as the distance between you and your "normal" life grows wider, you may have noticed the distance between you and your home life growing, well, smaller.
In fact, you may feel like everything around your house is zoomed IN, big time.
All of the natural resets that we have in our lives (sending the kids to school, going to the office, running out to the local coffee shop) that give us some distance have been temporarily eliminated. We have to create the resets ourselves. This is: Mental Distancing.
I'm excited to share this tool with you. It'll be helpful as we continue to navigate this quarantine, for sure, but it'll be useful far beyond this moment in time, too.
And let me hear from you! Comment below, send me an email, or connect with me on social media. I’d love to keep the conversation going with you, yes YOU, between episodes.
Join me on Facebook and come say “hi” over on Instagram…
