Monday April 20th

Today I woke up feeling motivated for the first time since I’ve been home. I think the consistency of my workouts have sunk in, creating a more routine-like internal clock. Although my mood has improved, I find it difficult to be around my parents. Their verbalized anxiety is constantly projected onto me, sometimes hindering my mood. My mother incessantly checks the news which has an immense impact on her mental health; she is inflicting unneeded stress upon herself. Watching my mother work the way she has, nonstop, has arisen a strong sense of gratitude for all her efforts. Her unwavering commitment and dedication to her job is inspiring, especially considering the millions of individuals have been laid off or filed for unemployment. Overall, lately I am working on maintaining a positive and healthy mindset both physically and mentally.
