Q&A with 8 women who inspire me

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR LEARNING EXPERIENCE DURING THIS QUARANTINE?
My learning during this quarantine has been huge… despite the fear and the uncertainty have been weeks where I have had the opportunity to stop to give priority to what really matters in my life, fully enjoy my husband, my kids, my house, myself… to realize what we should really take care of it is not outside but what it is inside… that there is no artwork more valuable that what our eyes see at every sunrise or to look at a tree flourish in the middle of spring, that true friends are always there despite the distance and time and that in small things you find the biggest.
HOW HAVE YOU REINVENTED YOURSELF?
I have reinvented myself doing what I love the most and that I stopped doing…I practiced yoga again, dance, read, sunbathe, enjoying a long bath, to rewatch those movies that have been part of my own life movie, organizing my drawers, my photos, my life.

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR LEARNING EXPERIENCE DURING THIS QUARANTINE?
At the beginning of all of this I was opposed to all of the changes that this pandemic brought to my life. I used to cry daily because I didn’t know how to take care of my children and take care of my house, thank God I always had help and all of this was new to me. In the moment that I accepted the reality and I put my best attitude, I started to enjoy being at home and I started to get creative in the kitchen and I learned to organize myself with the chores at home.
I have learned to flow, to multitask more than ever in my life, but above all to take it easy! 
HOW HAVE YOU REINVENTED YOURSELF?
Meditate and I exercise 30 minutes every morning. To give myself that time has changed that switch with the children and at home, I fell more positive.

That it’s impossible for me to get bored, not even if I leave in a shoe box!,  that I’m the only one who choose my state of mind, and that is very hard to live without hugging
HOW HAVE YOU REINVENTED YOURSELF?
I’m creative but not that much! Actually what I have done during this quarantine is catch up with my life: movies, books, blogs, sites, social media… all the things I like the most, but due to lack of time I can't enjoy enough. I’ve been part of a juror at a film festival; for the first time I host a 35 virtual meeting to record and edit a video by myself; I finally used a bunch of beauty treatment that have been stocked in my bathroom cabinet, and I've shopped the groceries without rushing  BTW! I learned it’s funnier dancing with the iron table, than dancing with the broom
