Coping with COVID-19 has not been and will not be easy for any of us, but we are in this together.

Dear visitor and friend,
 
What better opportunity could exist to practice being in the moment, as that is all we truly have, than NOW amid a global crisis?
 
Please enjoy the 30 day mindful resilience practices here to help get through the coming month sheltering-in-place one day at a time.
 
These activities or exercises can be done alone, with others virtually, or as a shelter in place team. They can be adopted for families with young children. You may find that even in a time of social distancing, these experiences can offer a sense of community. They can be completed in any order, or by skipping.
​
If these exercises do not serve you, they can be adapted in any way. Of course, they are voluntary to begin with and should not be used if met with discomfort. These are not to serve as medical advice or guidance and, as always, with concerns please consult with your medical provider.
​
Reflections and feedback are welcome to the email below. No negativity please. This is a time for social support.
​
With gratitude and peace,
​
Dr. Robin Ortiz, physician and, importantly, fellow human being
​
​
