We cannot simply do life and work as we were before Covid-19.

We cannot simply do life and work as we were before Covid-19. The reality is that we are all needing to invest more in our self care than ever before. Be kind to yourself, devise goals for this trying time, employ emotional flexibility and self-compassion to challenge the inner critic. Start a new hobby, learn to meditate, and connect with others safely. I also want to propose a new standard for performance in life as we now know it. Might 60-70% of our former selves be enough right now? Let me know what you think and what’s working for you. www.drdavidjaffe.com
