Embrace your health - Be Smart

In these times it's imperative that we continue to embrace and uplift our own health and personal strength. In this, I mean making the positive common sense decisions to ensure that we are eating healthy, attaining proper amounts of sleep and keeping ourselves hygienically protected from infections which are all around us.

More importantly with many of us on lock down for self quarantine (COVID-19) , don't lose sight of the goals you have set already with maintaining a positive lifestyle for both your physical self as well as your mental self. These go hand in hand and are each uniquely dependent on one another.

Now, I'm not going to sit here and push a bunch of medical statistics on the infection rate, what the death toll is, how many are forecasted to be in some type of harm from the infection or any of that. I am also NOT going to sit here and placate the idea that the media is skewing the actual facts behind it or that our government is someway behind it.... Not the place, we are all entitled to our opinions and where certain things may lie, but I'm going to focus on what you can do and should do.

1. Be smart about when you need to run out to get things like supplies.

2. Eat normal and healthy food, just cause you are locked in (not literally), doesn't mean you should let your dietary balance suffer. Maintain healthy choices.

3. Do things outside where you can and when you can, pick up that exercise

routine you were or are thinking about.

4. Gather with a few friends ( Not a mass gathering) but like a couple whom you are close and confident in that share the same types of decision making skills and do things in moderation, where applicable.

5. Use caution when going to different places where the population of people possible is greater than 50, which is a controllable standard of people in any given area.

6. Order food out and delivered if possible and able, this cuts down on how much interaction percentages you will have to incur.

7. Use proper hygiene methods for washing your hands and face and just being clean.

8. Mental health is just as important, take time and enjoy a book or activities which challenge your thought process, decision skills and other brain teasers

There are just some of the things which I have been doing actively over the past 9 days to ensure that I don't go bat shit crazy from being cooped in my house this long.

Luv ya!
