This is a high-anxiety, high-stress time in our world.

Pandemic.

Loss of jobs.

Illness.

Presidential Campaign.

Schools on new and challenging schedules.

Getting used to wearing masks and staying away from loved ones.

Holidays.

Holidays without loved ones.

There is A LOT going on and very little of it do we have any control over at all.

Last night, our Colton was feeling all of the tension.

He was asking us a lot of questions about the election.

We don't have all the answers, but what we did assure him of is that in our home there will always be love and peace and safety and support and assurance.

He seemed okay with that.

We will continue to check in with our kiddos as we navigate these times.

I love this list.

I know that I cannot go too long without really, really focusing on self-care.

Tonight, I will be going to the gym.

Exercise is SO important.

I will sit outside in the sunshine at lunch today.

Vitamin D is critical.

Once I can't sit outside any longer, I will go to the tanning booth at the gym and get it that way.

I will color more.

I am meditating every night before falling asleep.

We have a natural oil diffuser at work.

Keep your space clean and organized.

Breathe.

Do breathing techniques.

Stretch.

Talk to your support system.

We got this!
