Talk to yourself as you would speak to someone you love and care about. When you practice self-compassion you will find that you can be better able to help others.

Be aware of your feelings. You may feel frustrated, stressed, or trapped. These are difficult times for us all so it is very understandable. (1) Expressing your feeling aloud and/or writing them down, will help you process them. (2) Taking 5-10 deep breaths will help. (3) Connect by phone, e-mail, or video time with family and friends. It's important to stay connected and will help you feel more relaxed. (4) Stay physically active. Go for a walk (with a mask on) if you can, stretch, do an at-home workout, or just turn on some music and dance! (5) Meditate daily. It can be as simple as just thinking of a beautiful scene, doing some deep breathing, or focusing on your favorite saying. (6)

Many people think that their will or trust is all that is needed to make certain that their assets go to the desired recipients. A beneficiary designation is a legally binding document that supersedes a will or trust. That means that no matter what your will or trust says, the assets you named in a retirement account, insurance policies annuities and bank accounts, will go to the person names in those documents. If no one is named as your beneficiary on these accounts, state laws will determine who receives the benefit. These documents should be reviewed on an annual basis!.
