Serpentine Studies - I have been following Imaya on Instagram (@serpentine.studies) for a bit, pining to be able to move that way! for a bit and finally I get to try it. I am not good yet but it is fun. It will take practice.
This is new for me and very different, but what the heck, it’s a good time to try new things. I’m doing this with a group in the mornings and digging it. This is the link to a 62-minute meditation but there are different lengths available (6, 11, 31, minutes).

Breathwork
Breathwork is deeply healing, especially for trauma.
Check out the amazing breathwork instructor Claudia Nanino. She is offering some virtual group breathwork sessions and also private sessions if you are so inclined.
Zoom - Most people use Zoom for online meetings. You can download the free version and schedule online meetings with family and friends. Just schedule your meeting, copy the link, and text it to your folks and voilà, faces in front of you!
Shows and Movies
The Tiger King (Netflix) - Truly bizarre but hard to put down. It's an exploration into the strange world of big cat breeding.
My Brilliant Friend (HBO) - I'm smitten with this series depicting two female friends coming of age in 1950's Naples Italy. In my opinion, beautifully acted and lovely writing that does not depend on exposition.
Routine
Have a daily routine.
Wake at the same time
Morning routine such as:
movement

Work
If you are out of work do something that feeds your soul like writing, reading, learning a new language (Pimsleur), painting, drawing, singing, learning new things, cleaning out closets, etc;
Exercise
Get outside! Sunlight is so good for us and helps with circadian rhythm.
