The COVID-19 pandemic has achieved what wellness experts have been recommending for years—it has slowed life down. Although we are dealing with a challenging situation, slowing down has allowed an unexpected upside: the development of positive habits that can help make life better in the long-term.

We’ve been able to reevaluate our priorities, particularly with protecting our families. This cultivation of mental wellness will have a lasting effect on us and our financial strategy.

Here are some articles I found insightful. I hope you enjoy and share them—I’d love to know your thoughts.
