We all need breaks from work, and maybe especially so during challenging times. Despite the impulse to keep working through hard times to meet the difficulties we're in, the counter-intuitive wisdom that slowing down can be the most helpful thing we do may be some of the most important wisdom we return to again and again. How are you taking time off, unplugging, unwinding, and creating opportunities in your week to relax?

Throughout the pandemic, I have posted messages on my Facebook wall that I needed to hear myself or that I imagined others may be needing to hear. Again and again, these messages spurred collective online processing of a range of challenges and lows and bright spots of living through the pandemic. This series of cartoons is intended to reflect on and illustrate some of the process of dealing with life by leaning into the intersection of technology and community. |
