While adjusting to the relatively new concept of social distancing, I’ve been trying to focus on the positives during this quarantine time (as hard as it may be). We are all used to seemingly going a thousand miles per second throughout our busy days from commitment to commitment. This way of actively living makes this new time of social distancing and isolation very strange. But I think slowing down and focusing on living in the moment gives us a great opportunity to truly rest and find joy in the little things in our lives. Like maybe becoming a more balanced person!
I have recently been finding time for things that would have normally been put on the back burner in my busy schedule. This includes, daily walks with my family, painting, board games, cooking, facetime my grandparents, working out in our spruced up home gym, cleaning my room, etcetera. I have been enjoying the opportunity to be intentional in a lot of my relationships with friends/family. Here are a few pictures from my past week:
