Takeaways:

1. Lessons from Grenada: Treat others with kindness; Take pride in your work; Be glad for your blessings.  Enjoy a healthy lifestyle of an exchange of nourishment with the land.

2. Lessons from Boxing: Be light on your feet, practice vigilance . Concentrate on maintaining your form, keep your hands up, practice presence, be light footed and hold your stance;  stay out of your head and trust in your form.  

3. Recognize the resilience models around you.  People move through difficult situations every day.  Look to and celebrate Front Line workers- Health Care and  Grocery Store and Food Vendors. They are putting their lives at risk to ensure we have  our basic needs. 

4. Humans are designed to survive. The pandemic revealed boundaries and edges.  Understand and utilize your inner resourcefulness. 

5. Re-evaluate and redefine. Know when it’s time  for a mental health break.  Re-evaluate your definition of Self Care.  Yoga and movement can equal catharsis and sanctuary.
