In early 2020 the pandemic caused many of us to be suddenly thrown into working from home. We are now having to share our workspace with other family members who are also trying to work from home or attend school virtually. This brings about many impacts to our work and our relationships. Let’s find out what we can do to overcome these challenges.

Have you noticed a difference in your dreams during the pandemic? If so, you are not alone. A May 2020 study of more than 3,000 U. S. adults found that those who were the most impacted by the pandemic noticed a strong impact on their dream life (Schredl and Bulkeley, 2020). Let’s find out why.

Do you find recently that you struggle to find words or names? Are you having trouble focusing, thinking, planning, and getting things done? If so, you are not alone. It is highly likely this is a result of pandemic-related stress. Let’s learn how mindfulness can help.

Dealing with today's enormous challenges may have led us to act out in ways that are not characteristic of our behavior, especially toward others. We may find that we are a little more impatient, irritable, and intolerant of others. However, allowing ourselves to go down this path is not good for our mental or physical health. It is certainly not good for our relationships. A powerful antidote for these feelings is injecting kindness into our thoughts and deeds.
