Lots of options to keep your fitness and bring us back to a bit of normalcy and routine as we all find our way through this together, but apart.

Have been reading a lot. As much as I can anyway and I want to recommend you a few books if you can get your hands on them either through orders, your kindle, etc.

Two books that have influenced me heavily in how I operate are Carol S. Dweck’s “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success” and Angela Duckworth’s “Grit: The Power of Passion & Perseverance”.

Right now we are wading through a lot of unknowns. A lot of uncertainty of what are life is going to look like over the next few weeks, months, and what it will even look like over the next few years. Duckworth’s book can help develop the super skill of ‘grit’ during this time in our life where so much is unknown. Dweck’s book on Mindset will provide you with insight to taking a look at the same problem through a different lens. Both super critical reads, where you may need to read 5-10 minutes and then have a break to look at something different. That being the case make sure you pick up some easy, fun reading too. My all time favourite two series, Harry Potter & The Lord of the Rings, are great places to start.
