Hi, Marian! It is especially difficult to stay positive when all there's on the news and even on the Internet is about the virus and how hard the situation is in every country. So, to fight against apathy and low energy, and overall, just to take better care of ourselves, we need to stay away from these news as much as possible, and only be there one or two times a day to hear useful information. For the rest, is like you say. This is a time to grow, personally, in knowledge, in skills and whatever we think is possible. It's a time to know ourselves and what we really want to do with our lives. It's a time for planning for the future, but also for growing closer to our loved ones and create and strengthen connections in the present both online and in real life. Actually, I think of this times as a great opportunity. It's great that you want to keep motivated and not let yourself get depressed over this. That's the attitude. Keep it up and take care!

Buena suerte, y ten cuidado.. gracias por ayudar a los otros.

There are some positive things. We are more focused on what is truly important in life. We are more aware of our friends and family. Our pets love it! And, most importantly, it makes us mentally (and spiritually) stronger.

I think you nailed it. These difficult times 1) make us mentally stronger; 2) force us to focus on what is really important in life; 3) in our absences, actually bring our social networks, especially family, together. I'm with you: I am worried about the future, but there will be benefits as well. Stay strong!
