Simple ways to stay healthy...
This is a great time to get your family outside! Walk, hike, jog, bike ride, play in the park… just try to keep about 6 ft from you and other people if possible :)
The obvious things: Wash your hands frequently with soap and water. Avoid crowded spaces as much as possible. Wipe down common surfaces with regular household cleaning products (doorknobs, cell phone, counter tops, the steering wheel, etc).
Remember to breathe. Inhale deeply so your belly rises for 4 counts, hold for 7 counts, exhale slowly for 8 counts. Repeat. Teach this to everyone you know.
Put gratitude front and center. Appreciate the small things. Stay in joy. Stay as relaxed as possible.
Take care of your community. Support each other. Get creative in doing so. When able, help elderly neighbors and family members who are most at risk. Support small business when able.
Be kind. To everyone. Especially those who are working in service industries including (but of course not limited to) grocery stores, pharmacies, and mail delivery. Let's support each other through this. Don't forget to be kind to yourself.
Practice being more in control of your feelings. This website is a fun way for kids (and parents) to explore that concept: http://imaginaction.stanford.edu
