Week of May 25th

As the weather starts to get warmer and we welcome summer, we are reminded of the changes in our current lifestyles. We are looking for ways to return to normalcy after spending the previous eleven weeks indoors and in isolation. In response, our urges to defy quarantine guidelines are high. We feel a strong desire to socialize with friends, see extended family, go outside without a face mask, travel for the summer, or anything that brings us close to experiencing life pre-quarantine.

At Metro this week we are focusing on Alternate Rebellion to help satiate the urges we are having to resist current conditions. Alternate Rebellion is a skill that helps satisfy an urge by engaging in alternatives that are not harmful to ourselves or others. As a team we are thinking of pandemic friendly ways to express rebellion. Some are wearing shocking face masks, changing hair colors, having breakfast for dinner, blasting loud music, rearranging furniture, in addition to others. We want to hear from you. What are ways you are adaptively rebelling against current health restrictions?
