Then. When the world as we knew it came to an alarming stop in March 2020, there were so many unknowns. In lockdown limbo, we learned how much we took for granted: meeting with friends; exchanging handshakes and hugs; going to an office or workplace; in-person grocery shopping; attending family, school, sports, and other social activities; etc.
We managed to get through it as medical and mental health providers helped us cope with our all-consuming stress back then. For example, here’s a set of “quarantine questions” I found online when we were struggling with anxiety at the pandemic’s outset.
Now. The same questions are worth sharing today because they’re timeless, regardless of what individual and collective difficulties we face.
I’d add a 7th question to this list, however:
“What lightness in the form of good-natured humor am I sharing to generate smiles and laughter today?
