When the pandemic was going on, my mind was still trying to process what was happening. It felt like I was going into survival mode. There was a lack of groceries in the store. There was a lot of fear in the news. Everything felt uncertain. There was an intense awareness of the possibility of death and a fear of death. Every day in the news during the pandemic there would be some sort of increasing number for the amount of COVID cases that were found.

I had a lot of time and I wanted to take the time to focus on my health to get better. During the pandemic, the world was focusing daily on death and fear. Emotionally, I felt exhausted because I just wanted “normal life” to resume. I felt depressed over the lack of freedom that I felt and the restrictions that were put in place at public places.

Gyms were included in the shut down during the pandemic. I felt that I wasn’t able to have access to the tools and machines that I needed to improve my physical health.

I had to break my usual routine and still find ways to incorporate health into my life. I was grateful to have the love and support of my fiancé during this time. This helped to give me spiritual and emotional strength.
