In these strange times, our physical and mental health is more important than ever. We\u2019ve all developed different healthy coping mechanisms that have carried us through months of social distancing. But everyone is different. Where some turn to running, others turn to reading. We each have different ways of unwinding and reviving our mind and body. The following are a few hobbies that members have gained through these strange times.<\/em><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Kaitlyn –\u00a0Due to having more time during the pandemic, I have learned a lot more about self-awareness and have been actively working towards being more self-aware of what my mind and body need throughout the day with frequent check-ins with myself and how I am feeling!<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Phaedra – I have been enjoying NOT feeling obligated to go everywhere on weekends. We installed a fire ring in my front yard and do more outdoor cooking, playing, relaxing. I always have a creative\/repair project to occupy me, and staying home is this introvert’s dream come true.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Camila – I have personally been keeping myself in a healthy place by maintaining movement throughout my days whether it be through stretching, walking or dancing. Similar to Phaedra I also enjoy having a creative or repair project to fill my time with.<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
Linley – One of the healthiest things I’ve tried in the pandemic is there’s a playground close to my house, and I’ve gotten really good at doing the monkey bars, even upside down and backwards lol! its been a super fun way to workout and improve balance!<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Kryssie – I have used this time to grow in my photography skills. It’s become my favorite way to take a step back and breathe when I’m feeling overwhelmed<\/div>\n
\n

Aside from all of these wonderful hobbies that our members have taken up, 4H also held a weekly virtual self-care series through the month of November and with the latest one being a yoga class led by one of our members this Wednesday.<\/div>\n
