Top 5 Ways to Stay Sane While #SocialDistancing During the #COVID-19 Global Pandemic

3/24/2020

1. Rest - Most people are rest-deprived and have a hard time sitting still. During this unusual time, take time to be still and process this moment. No TV, Netflix, or social media.
2. Clean - Now is the time to stop procrastinating and get it done! Clean out your sock drawer, an overcrowded closet, or an overflowing cabinet under the bathroom sink. Recall all those projects you're saving until "you have more time". And remember, when this is over, you'll feel so good about your new clean spaces.
3. Exercise - Feeling anxious or stressed? Here's the key-- get moving! It's impossible to stress out and worry when your body is in motion. Go for a brisk walk, dance in the middle of the living room, or put your home gym to good use. You'll feel better about yourself and so will your body.
4. Be a Good Samaritan - Do something for someone who you think may need a little extra help during this time without telling them or expecting anything in return.
5. Talk - If you're feeling isolated, lonely, or bored, pick up the phone and call a friend or relative. Don't suffer in silence! There's nothing better than talking or connecting with an old friend.

LIFE AFTER COVID-19/CORONAVIRUS?

3/20/2020

 
What a difference a week makes? Last week many of us were going out to eat, working our normal jobs and looking forward to Spring Break in the U.S. and then life as we knew it suddenly stopped. And by stop, I mean a complete slam on your break to avoid a crash, halt! 

Now, many of us are shut up in our homes, wondering how to use our pots and pans because eating out in a restaurant is a distant memory and secretly praising teachers for being miracle workers and educating our children. And for many, this is a MAJOR change.

And of course, change is always hard and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, we can't predict when we will go through difficult times but we can control how we react and how we will recover.
We know that this global pandemic has taken a toll on our lifestyles and livelihood, our stock markets, our confidence in our political leaders and our ability to see the silver lining.

Here's the Good News: your worth is not tied to any of these- not your performance metrics, not your 401k, not your job title, not your house, not your car, not your share of stocks-- none of it! I know personally that even in uncertain times, you can overcome if you don't give up.

If you would like to discuss strategies for overcoming while you're #social distancing, click the schedule link to setup a time to have your private, 1-on-1 video chat and let's get to work and focus on the positive!
