Walking is such a great stress reliever. When you can’t get outside, try a 15-minute mile with @walkathome (youtube). As winter approaches, this might become an important self-care resource.

Many people have been working from home since March, and may be continuing to do so for some time yet. There’s such a range of emotions accompanying this new normal.
