It’s okay if…

The emotions and thoughts you are experiencing right now….let them flow. Let them just be here for a moment while you read on.

In light of the current COVID-19 crisis, none of us have the answer for when life will return to normal and all of us are grieving the Spring time we thought we would have. It’s okay if you’re feeling angry, exhausted, trapped, relieved or rested. Any of it fits.

It’s also okay if….

• You miss your friends and family…or you don’t.
• You want to eat more…or you don’t.
• You feel like you might jump out of your skin…or you don’t.
• You need to sleep more…or you don’t.
• You enjoy working from home….or you don’t….or you can’t.
• You have a productive day…or you don’t.
• You get dressed…or you don’t.
• You feel grateful…or you don’t.

There is no right way to feel, act, or “be” right now. Your responsibility is to be true to yourself and your physical, mental, and emotional needs during this time. These needs might not look like your parents’, roommates’, friends’, etc. and that is okay!
