School closures, shelter in place orders, new coworkers in your home office – it feels like a month has gone by and it's only been a week.
Coworking with my hubby and 6-year old was about what you'd expect... loud, lots of juggling, and a fair amount of crying on the floor.
Some members of my household cried... and the rest wanted to.
What about you? How are you holding up?
People are coping in such different ways so today I wanted to share 4 resources that might be helpful in providing stress relief, laughter, and connection in this time of physical distancing. 1. Feeling anxious? Check out the work of Jud Brewer. He has an amazing mini-course on Insight Timer and you can watch a recent interview here.
2. Need a reason to get out of bed and get dressed in the morning?
Join Elysha Lenkin's creative styling challenge to create outfits from what you already have in your closet. Join the Closet Shopping Collective here.
3. Feeling isolated?
Add some laughter to your life and join an improv playdate.
I spent last Friday afternoon playing improv games with Gary Ware and it was a much needed mental break, offering laughter and lightness at the end of a loooong week.
4. Want to communicate like an expert? Join me tomorrow for the Introvert's Guide to Public Speaking. Lunch Ladies NYC is going online and I'll be teaching a live workshop at noon, Tuesday March 24th and sharing strategies to:
Increase your presence
Manage your anxiety & stage fright
Create content that resonates with your audience
Can I be helpful during this time?
Is there someone you want me to connect you with?
Do you need help keeping your team engaged?
Do you want to communicate your message with impact?
