WHY this matters to me:

Zack is our daughter, Sophia’s, boyfriend (so, before these days of quarantine, we got to see him a lot, LOL – which was a great blessing!). Sophia proclaimed last week, “Zack is so inspirational!” She then shared some of Zack’s plan to navigate his days of no-school quarantine with focus, intention, and health … with time to play, too – which I believe might just be an inspiration to many of you and your kids!

WHAT you can look forward to in this conversation:

– A MESSAGE TO FAMILIES from the perspective of a teenager about some daily ideas for family time amidst the Corona virus quarantine

If you’re bored during lockdown, pick something you want to be really good at and that brings you joy … and practice it a little bit each day. -Zack Salfi

– BE INSPIRED by how Zack’s passion for mindfulness and meditation has been sparked and fueled by a blend of everyday life experiences: travel, family, soccer, and school

– A GUIDED MEDITATION by Zack | =peace and presence right here and now

– A few of Zack’s DAILY ESSENTIALS in these no-school days that might inform your kids / your thoughts of how to navigate this season well

If you feel yourself stressing, take a few minutes to center yourself. Breathe. If you don’t think you have time, do it anyway. (You won’t regret it.) -Zack Salfi
