COVID-19 revelations

How are you? How do you spend your time and energy these days at home?

I would really like to hear from you and get to know what you enjoy and what challenges you the most.

On my end, I am privileged to have a home and steady income.

That has given me the opportunity to slow down and dedicate myself to self-reflection, connecting with loved ones and taking care of my home and myself as I have never had before.

Life’s little pleasures have recovered much relevance these times to compensate for moments of loneliness due to social distancing.

I enjoy collecting street flowers when I go for my walks and cooking tasty, healthy recipes inspired by my Greek heritage.

I developed morning and evening rituals, of self-massage, exercise, gratitude and affirmations that help me start and end each day with optimism, regardless of the emotional waves that come and go throughout the weeks.

I paint and I meditate in my own manner, as there are many ways to listen to the silence and connect to our hearts to embrace our fears.

Below I share with you some of my revelations that came out of my process, and I hope they can inspire you and bring some ease in your days.

How do you take care of yourself? What are you learning? May I support you in your process? It is an honor to help your growth. I hope you are well, and I would love to hear from you, your feelings, your thoughts, your concerns, your desires.

warmly, maria
