During the COVID-19 pandemic, if you're lucky enough to feel safe and still have income, you might be thinking about all that you can accomplish. We give you permission to not write that book, start that six-figure side hustle, grow a luscious garden, or get into Olympic shape. Many are hanging on by a thread, and don't need the additional pain of feeling less because you haven't accomplished more. Stacey Hallmark, LMSW and Columbia University grad, advises you to be kind to yourself and temper expectations.
