I think all of us respond differently to the pandemic. I am usually away visiting family Thanksgiving weekend, and because I couldn't do that this year, I decorated for Christmas, which was about a week early for us.
For me, coping with the pandemic has been all about giving myself permission. This definitely impacts me fitness-wise--e.g., permission to do easier workouts, permission to modify more, permission to take more off days, etc. Making those allowances allowed me to stay consistent; I'm just doing what I can. I've also meditated more this past year than ever before, which has helped. For those struggling to exercise, I filmed a chair/desk yoga practice today. It's just under 30 minutes, very gentle, and a bit self-nurturing, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehNEUFdSsiY

Hsim, I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with your boss; I've been there and have much compassion for this. All of the practices on my YouTube channel are slow and fairly gentle, with some a bit more active than others.
Happy Friday to all! I was worn out today (although this was a fairly slow week for me), so I just did restorative yoga and yoga nidra, both with Melissa West (YouTube).

Paula, my strength training (especially heavier work) is way down too! My attitude is pretty much the same as yours, that what I am doing is fine for now. I hope you like the desk yoga practice; I was aiming to do something more like 20 minutes but it turned out longer than I had intended.
