Many things have been happening in the world that are too much for me to understand or assimilate into my life. I think that it is great to be at home with my family and to spend time with them in different ways than usual, but having to stay at home is starting to speak volumes about my need for life outside of my house!
Because I am in the house so much already as a homeschooler, it is especially challenging to spend even more time at home. Awesome mom and dad are working so hard to make it feel like it is life as usual, but my overly sensitive body feels the truth and it is not responding too well.
For the most sensitive souls it is imperative that we are allowed the time and space that we need to integrate these new feelings together with our sensitive bodies. These are some things that are available to me that make it much easier for me to spend this time in isolation:
- walks in nature with my dog, Mack
- the most rigorous academics that my mom can deliver
- lovely time spent around the light of the fire in the fire pit with my family
- great discussions at the dinner table
- and working on incorporating more time for making art and exercise a regular part of my day
How are you handling the isolation?
