Honestly, it’s crazy to think we’re approaching 10 WEEKS of quarantine here in NYC (and in much of the country too!) If you had told me at the start of 2020 I would spend 10 weeks isolated in my tiny Brooklyn apartment, with no personal or physical interaction apart from my relationship, well…let’s just say I’d FOR SURE say “I won’t survive it!”

3 Ways to Reclaim Control
Right now, life feels out of our control…
Our day to day lives have been turned upside down! Schedules are non existent (what is time, anyway?), and in-person connection is no longer…LITERALLY. It truly feels as though there is nothing to work for or look forward to.
But recently, I was met with the quote “Don’t be a slave to your thoughts; control them” and honestly I was OVERWHELMED by its truth.

If you’ve been a part of this community for sometime, you know even when we’re not in COVID-19 quarantine I work for myself from home on the daily. And most of the time, I LOVE it! Though I’m an extrovert, I find I am more productive and less distracted working on my own. I know if the work is not finished or to my standard, it is the fault of only ONE person….
