Crazy Corona Times!
Feeling overwhelmed? Frustrated? Like you’re going to have a meltdown?
Well, you are definitely NOT alone! We are all feeling it and trying to do our best given the situation.
I wanted to share 5 tips that have helped me stay sane and healthy during these past few weeks.
- Hydrate – I’m drinking at least 70 ounces of water/day. If I’m exercising, I’m adding 10-20 ounces more. My favorite water for hydration – i-H20 by Gia Wellness.
- Ease Stress – let your feelings come out! If it means hitting a tennis ball against a backboard or venting to a good friend, let your feelings and frustrations out -- in a safe way.
- Connect- Stay connected with friends and family. Zoom and Facetime are my favorites. Even a Friday afternoon Happy Hour via Zoom works to put a smile on my face.
- Stay in the present- Take it one day at a time. Each morning when I wake up, I remind myself to be grateful for a new day. I also remind myself on the date and day of the week! During these times, we tend to forget these details. Focus on today only.
- Sleep- Getting 7-8 hours/night and even more on the weekends has helped me boost my immune system! Remember - your bedroom is your sanctuary – keep it calm and comfortable.
Speaking of bedrooms, I was recently interviewed by the Huffington Post regarding sex and the corona virus.
