Journal Prompt: HOPE
Did you see anything today that gave you hope? (example: news article, random act of kindness, funny meme on social media)
Write about what you experienced and why it made you feel hopeful. How did this feeling of hope change your perspective about our current situation? Will you think or act differently in the future?
Stages of Coping with COVID-19
It has been a couple weeks since our world turned upside down. Take some time to reflect on how you’re coping. Can you identify which zone you’re in now?
Journal Prompt: How have you been coping? What is bringing you the most comfort during this time? Have you been able to move out of the fear zone? What, in particular, are you struggling with? Is there anything that continues to worry you? What can you do to try to get to the growth zone? What are you learning about yourself as you move through each of these coping stages?
