This months calendar – available in different languages – gives some ideas to try out new thing each day. This might help us manage the ongoing Covid 19 restrictions and challenges in our lives.
The calendar maintains that “Covid is restricting our lives, but we can find new ways to keep making progress. Trying out new things can actually boost our well-being. When we open up to new ideas, it helps us stay curious and engaged. It can also bring a sense of accomplishment and help to boost our self-confidence and resilience. There are so many ways to learn new things and this month we’re encouraging everyone to find new and creative ways to overcome our frustrating situations.”
