Wellness during quarantine/stay at home COVID-19 order? Yes, it's possible and maybe even easier because most of us have some extra time on our hands. Here are a few things to try to implement into your daily routine:
1. Stay Positive-this is one thing we can control
2. Drink Water-add lemon to it and drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces
3. Move-try to get outside and take a walk or jog or run
4. Exercise-get your heart rate up, sweat a little~it's good mentally and physically
5. Eat Whole Foods-but also cheat a bit and support your local restaurant
6. Declutter-If you are like me I'm sure you have a closet or drawer or two or three that could used cleaned out~you'll feel great when this is done
7. Shower and get our of your jammies-okay you can spend a day or two in them because that's fun too~but also shower and dress like you are going out...that feels good too
8. Call or text a friend-reach out to someone you haven't talked to in awhile and let them know you are thinking about them and see how they are doing
9. Pray/Meditate-it's relaxing, decreases stress and keeps you positive
10. Have a virtual get together with friends/family-Zoom, Houseparty, etc.. are awesome
11. Embrace this slowness right now-we are so busy that this can be a great time to refocus and reflect on what is important
~Stay Positive~Keep Moving~Stay Connected
Yours In Health~
