It’s been a year since life as we knew it imploded, leaving us scrambling to keep up with the new rules and restrictions left in its wake. Let’s be honest; this is an anniversary none of us feel like celebrating. And even if we did, we still can’t throw a party anyway.
In the past, we’ve expended effort to nurture our relationships, willing them to blossom into something wonderful—something worth celebrating at least once a year. When it came to quarantine, we wanted to initiate a break-up the moment it arrived. And we wished it away over too many glasses of wine and bags of potato chips.
While the pandemic stole many of our liberties—like the ability to hug our loved ones, walk through a store unmasked, and enjoy dining in a restaurant with friends—it hasn’t been all bad.
Quarantine has forced us to slow down and appreciate things many of us didn’t have time to enjoy previously, like spending time with family, cooking healthy meals, and getting outside to exercise. See, it hasn’t been ALL bad!
As we celebrate our quarantine-iversary, let’s take a moment to look back and appreciate all the pros that have come from this difficult time. Here are five important positives that came out of a pretty bleak year:
We learned the importance of sticking to a fitness routine and continuing with important regimes of stretching to reduce tension and keep our joints moving well. Online classes and virtual classes offered by The Vital Stretch helped us stay limber.
Good weather forced us outside to breathe in fresh air (a.k.a. forest bathing) and escape the confines of our homes. This, in turn, enhanced our moods as well as our physical health, something which has been proven time and again, most recently in a study published in the Journal Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine.
