I hope you are finding ways to ease any anxiety + improve your well-being during this time (and that you remember, there’s no “one way” to do this).

It’s been amazing to hear from so many people who are listening to my 15 minute free guided meditation. “Easing Anxiety + Improving Well-Being” + telling me “I felt better after 15 minutes of listening to your audio, than I had in weeks.”  

This is music to my ears, especially in the midst of all that is going on in the world. 

Download + listen to it here. 

And if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, before you attempt another week of getting “busy doing more,” download my “Well-Being To-Do List”

This will serve as a quick reminder (and perhaps the permission slip you need) to reevaluate, recalibrate + redesign your life to make what matters most to you the main priority. 

It has always been my mission to help actors thrive through uncertainty, and now, more than ever, I’m aware that taking care of our own mental health + wellness, must be at the top of our list.

Once you begin your day in ways that empower you (and have tools to realign your mind), you’ll actually feel better and even be more productive.

I’m thrilled to see that this mental health + wellness message is expanding throughout our community + the world. 

I’m honored to be featured (alongside Arianna Huffington) in Variety + wanted to share the news with you here too.

It’s part of an ongoing series from entertainment industry insiders, and if you scroll down on this volume of the Corona Chronicles, you’ll find my featured piece.

This has been an eye-opening and emotional time for all of us, I know.

Being able to connect with you, uplift you + shine some light in all of the darkness has helped me more than you know.

When I first started this blog 12 years ago, I had no idea what it would become (or who I would become) along the way.

I just kept showing up week after week, with my whole heart, in an effort to serve others, while navigating + living my own dreams.

I’m so incredibly grateful to reach you today, in the middle of a global pandemic, and truly give you a virtual hug.

And when you look closer at the above photo, I hope it serves as a reminder that nature is thriving, our sweet animals are thriving, and the human spirit is thriving amidst all of the darkness.

You will get through this.  

Just keep showing up for yourself, without judging it all.

Keep flowing compassion and acceptance and love to yourself and others.

And know…that it’s okay…to take a break. 

Let me know in the comments below what you’re doing this week to make your well-being your #1 priority. I love hearing from you!

Here’s to a week of tending to what matters most to you.

Love + Gratitude,

-Wendy
