Have you set your goal today? 

 Now, more than ever, setting a daily goal is critical because it provides purpose and direction.  While there is comfort in being home, there is also uncertainty and frustration. And… there is procrastination.  To be honest, I have not cleaned one closet yet, nor have I cleaned the garage or painted a room. The first few days at home, I barely left the couch. 

Start each day with a goal that ensures activity, motivation and accomplishment.  

(I’ve attached a daily goal challenge...give it a try and let me know how it goes.)

STAY CONNECTED

Social distancing may have changed how we interact with each other, but it hasn’t changed why we need each other.   Our tribe, crew, group makes us feel good.

How are you letting those important people in your life know you are thinking of them?  How are you connecting?

Try something new- hand write a note, create a piece of art and give it to someone special, or bake something sweet for someone sweet.
