It’s tough being stuck at home for this long. Eventually, you lose even the minimal mental focus to enjoy tv shows or a movie, let alone a book. Sometimes you need a little motivation to get moving, maybe to do some chores or to cook dinner. This is one of my favorite playlists to get my self moving without ramping up my adrenaline. You can listen to it on Spotify here. Enjoy
