Hi guys, how are you doing? In this first solo episode of The Blooming Project, Joneil reflects on how she is dealing with self-isolation and the constant uncertainty. She gives advice on how to handle anxiety and laziness in the house when we lose the motivation to do anything. Constantly seeing the news and seeing the world fall is a lot to take in. It's not okay not to be okay for now and you can get back up when you're ready. In a time of crisis and chaos, let's continue to spread kindness and positivity everywhere.
