for our MOM: [Close your eyes. Bring your hands together so that your fingers interlock. Notice which index finger is on top. Feel your hands give each other a hug. Now, take your hands apart. Wiggle your fingers, stretch them out into space, and try to make your hands forget that they ever met each other. After a few seconds -- your eyes should still be shut -- bring your hands back together, and interlock your fingers, but with the OPPOSITE index finger on top. Was this easy for you to do? Does it feel weird? Reflect on the idea that habits -- familiar ways of doing things -- is this easy, and this hard, to do.]
JOURNAL TOPIC:
Do you crack your knuckles? I started in the sixth grade. It's a weird habit. Why does anyone do this?
-OR-
You can use your journal simply to write about life and your experiences in these unusual, challenging times.
