During these uncertain times, it is easy to get caught up in our everyday stress. It is understandably hard not to feel anxious about the future as a society, as well as personally. It can be uncomfortable not to follow our usual routine, but it doesn’t have to be.

It is safe to say that there is no better time than now for us to escape the chaos even if it’s just for a little while.
