How are you doing?

I've been home now -- "social distancing" or perhaps people distancing for a month and a half. Honestly, 42 of those days have been just fine, sometimes great, at times exhausting and a tiny bit chaotic. But not going to lie there have been a few where I want to be a log on the couch or find myself troubled with cabin fever. 

Here are some of my tips for staying bright, cheery and sane during this trying time.

Helpful COVID Crisis Tips

1. From the moment you wake-up set achievable goals. Even if it means making the bed or getting out of your pajamas. This will spark productivity and help you to achieve certain goals each day. 
2. Stop eating. I mean stop snacking...but if you tell yourself 'you're just bored' and need to stop eating everything all the time, that will help your waistline and be a bit more economical. You will survive on 2 meals a day, or portioning out your meals and not overeating.
3. Do some form of physical fitness everyday. It is hard and sometimes you are just too busy or too lazy... but for me doing yoga just from watching YouTube has been extremely beneficial and motivating. And after you are done you'll feel so much better and even inspired maybe to get outside and do something productive. I just did yoga and then went outside to clean the yard a bit. 
4. In need of social interaction? FaceTime or call someone. I made some lunch dates, morning calls and even happy hour calls to help with sanity. Heck even watching a livestream with the group on social made me smile as I knew a handful of other people watching and they started to say hi to me when I joined. It was like we were all there together.
5. Stay positive - if that means reading positive news, watching positive or funny shows, playing around with your pet or with family... this will help to get those good vibes going.
