During this time, we are all dealing with heightened levels of stress. And many of us are having a hard time focusing and getting things done, and perhaps feeling guilty about our lack of productivity. But this is a time for letting go of the impulse to always be productive, which is so ingrained in the dominant culture. Instead we should be prioritizing taking care of ourselves, physically, emotionally and spiritually, so that we can better navigate our current crisis.
