If you’re working from home, creating a space that you can approach worry free can help you stay focused: light your favorite candle, clean your desk/kitchen counter/table, and work in any increments you can! Cut a movie on or start a diy project to keep little ones distracted 💓

[Black Women Navigating Graduate School @blkwmnchronicle]

Here’s a few tips to reduce anxiety during this time:
• download an app such as headspace or Sanvello to keep track of your mood, etc.
• 15 min yoga sessions via YouTube or virtual yoga classes via your institution/yoga studio
• start that hobby/project you’ve been meaning to!
