It’s Ok Not to Be Ok

• Use creativity to deal with stress and anxiety.

Our brains are wired for art and play. Our bodies respond positively to the change. Find out more in my latest interview with Margaret Brown of The Creative Unblock and upcoming webinar with Margot Toppen of EduMotion.

• Make plans but be flexible.

Having a daily routine helps us cope with uncertainty. But be willing to be spontaneous. One thing I think we have all learned is how fragile and precious life and relationships are. Find ways to celebrate each day!

• Stay connected.

Sometimes when we are feeling upset, we isolate. Reach out. And if there are people you haven’t heard from in a few days, check on them. We need each other.
