So far, I have managed to remain in high spirits on the whole. I have to admit I am a bit scared of catching Coronavirus. My biggest fear though is social isolation.

You may be surprised to know that I am an introvert at heart. I love spending time quiet time alone at home with the cats or with my boyfriend, Andy, affectionately known as Mr Sexy Pants (MSP).

The thought of being stuck at home for an indefinite period causes me to feel quite uncomfortable though. I’m also worried that MSP or I might die – not because of the Coronavirus – but because we’ve killed each other. If we do live to tell the tale, will we still love each other?

Why Are the Finns So Happy? Three Lessons We Can Learn
According to the 2020 World Happiness Report, Finland is – for the third year in a row – the happiest country in the world.  The United States, on the other hand, seems to be heading in the opposite direction:  after reaching a peak of 11 in 2012, we stand today at 18.  And as we are all struggling with navigating the tremendous stress of the current global pandemic, this seems like a perfect time to figure out what we can learn from the Finns.  After all, eventually we will return to some type of “new normal.” Why not aim for that new reality to shift us towards greater happiness?

How the Pandemic May Revive the Original American Dream
Once upon a time, the American Dream had little to do with climbing the ladder of success or having the financial resources to own a house or retire to a warm sunny place.  When James Truslow Adams articulated the American Dream in 1931, in fact, he did not praise the value of ambition or advocate the pursuit of wealth, thinking instead that it was exactly those things that had led Americans astray in the 1920s and ultimately caused the Great Depression.

The Light Through Postpartum Isolation
The coronavirus pandemic is making clear that many of the ways of living we considered normal and never second-guessed were not really serving us. It has been known to maternal mental health professionals for a long time that our modern family and social structures leave parents disconnected and without enough support. This puts way too much pressure on immediate caregivers alone, increasing feelings of loneliness and stress and thereby increasing the risk of developing postpartum symptoms. Sheltering in place is profoundly underscoring this unfortunate reality.

Intimacy in the Face of Death
I once knew a couple whose young son was dying. The parents refused to talk with him about it. Perhaps this would not have been a bad strategy had they been able to persuade him that he would live, but they were not. The young boy knew—as people often do, somehow—that his end was near. He wanted to talk, but any time he broached the topic, the mother and father would insist that he would get better; that he wouldn't die. As a consequence, he not only had to face the prospect of death at a very young age but he had to do it alone.

Social Support Rainbows for Pandemic Stress Storms
“Everyone’s been so nice, checking with us to see if we’re okay and if we need anything,” said my octogenarian friend with a tone of gratitude and relief. These simple shows of what psychologists call “social support” were clearly helpful to my friend’s coping. Another sheltering friend posted photos on social media of some favorite food items, left on her doorstep by some thoughtful friends. It was apparent how much this simple gesture made her feel loved and cared for. Indeed, one of the easiest and most important ways you can help during the pandemic is to reach out to your physically distant friends and family in some simple ways.

Facts on Health and Weight and Why They Aren’t Always Related
We live in a society that is obsessed with shape and weight. Everywhere you look there are advertisements about weight loss, new diet trends, and wellness practices (which I would argue 90% of the time, are just some kind of diet). It’s hard to not let yourself get wrapped up in this rhetoric, but it’s important to know some facts when deciding what of this unavoidable, ever abundant information will actually change your feelings about your body, your diet (aka what you eat, not the newest fad), and your behavior. Here are some not-so-frequently-discussed principles that may help you have a more healthy relationship with food and your body.

How I'm Emerging From Depression, Even In Self-Isolation
I’ve spent the last four weeks holed up in my own head, like a bear hibernating against its winter. I’ve been scared, worried, depressed, anxious and emotional. I hid from it all, beneath the pillows of my bed, in front of mindless television, inside the confines of my little home while it’s been raining. This is a winter none of us could ever have predicted.

5 Tips If Your Mental Illness Is Interfering With College
For many, going to university represents the culmination of several years of hard work and commitment. An adolescence dedicated to learning and cultivating knowledge, just to be deemed valuable enough to earn a place on your dream course. Self-worth somehow becomes inexplicably tied to academic achievement and the opinion of a faceless institution that you are intelligent enough to be allowed a place in their prestigious halls.

Why We All Need Animal Crossing Right Now
When the stay-at-home orders hit, and people all over the country began hunkering down to wait out the worst of the crisis, I found myself alone in a way I had never expected. My roommate unexpectedly moved out in February, and for the first time in my life, I was living completely alone. Since I’m a homebody by nature, you’d think I’d relish having an apartment to myself. That might be the case under normal circumstances, but I wasn’t prepared for the loneliness of living alone during a pandemic.

Learn Right Now! 7 Secrets to Engaged Online Learning for Students with ADHD
Online learning has its perks: namely, more flexibility and less anxiety. But for struggling students, the absence of face-to-face communication, verbal queues, and emotional connections can cause school motivation and progress to plummet. Robust, project-based, experiential learning — not learning by passively listening and reading — is best for ADHD brains. That is largely impossible in quarantine, so what can parents and educators do?

And the Beet Goes On…
Seems that no matter what decade it is, Tom Robbins still wrote one of my all time favorite ‘sort of’ love stories, Still Life With Woodpecker (see: 1980). I’m still quoting it. Not just because he’s a wayward (or way with word) genius, but because even the seemingly simple quote from it – “It’s never too late to have a happy childhood” – is so profound, it’s almost silly.

Building Social Connectedness to Cultivate Our Compassion
It has always been a Buddhist tenet that compassion should be cultivated so that it extends to all living beings, not just the members of your family, tribe, or nation; indeed, it should extend to all sentient beings, not just to people. For many people this seemed to be an appealing but impractical ideal.

Unhappy Couples and their Flaw Fixations
Leo Tolstoy famously opens his novel Anna Karenina with the words, "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Statisticians have derived from here something they've come to call the "Anna Karenina principle"—roughly, the idea that success in any enterprise requires that everything go right: remove a single important prerequisite, and your endeavor will fail. [1] Say the preconditions of success are A, B, C, and D.
