She encourages citizens to be grateful for what they have and to surround themselves with positive, uplifting people... even if they have to communicate virtually via facetime, for the time being. There is so much to be grateful for and all we have to do is look around us... it is there even in the grimmest of times.

Theres so much opportunity for personal development and growth currently as we are forced to stay inside and isolate from other people. Its the perfect opportunity to rekindle an existing hobby or find a new passion.

This is a perfect opportunity to practice self-care, andMichelle agrees that there are many ways we can take care of ourselves while so much happening in our world is out of our control at the moment.

So, take a page from the Obamas book and choose to see goodness, seek goodness and spread goodness... you never know who might need it most and this is a perfect time to spread a little extra kindness to others.
