Stay at home as much as possible
If you plan to go outside for the following scenarios:
Work - Reach out to supervisor/manager for the best time/day to go to work with the least amount of people traffic.
Stores - Use the Curbside pickup whenever possible. If this is not an option, then be properly geared for store access.
Events - Do not go, but if this is not possible, reach out to the planner to find out how many people will attend and what social distancing practices are being practiced.
Family Gatherings - Try to limit family gatherings as well. If needed to attend, try virtually instead and try to limit until vaccines are available.
Practice Mindful Techniques Stress is in an all time high. We are literally experiencing a historic pandemic that is causing loss everywhere from people losing lives, businesses, jobs, and even our minds. These are just a few techniques to try:
Clear Your Space A cluttered space can cause anxiety and even stress. By clearing your environment of dirt, misplaced clothes and/or dirty dishes can help bring in fresh ideas and perspectives.
Check out Marie Kondo! Throw away clutter if it does not bring you joy..
Organize your documents and clothing for easy access
Have a system of where you put widely used accessories
Keep things tidy and easily accessible
Reach Out To Others Keep in mind some people are not good about reaching out when they are going through emotions. By helping others, you will feel good knowing you were there for your friend. Reaching out to people of need can heal the soul, dive on into helping others for inner peace.
Call or text friends and family and check in if there are any resources they need, food, supplies, or a friend to lend a listening ear.
Support virtually by becoming a mentor, advisor, or volunteer in charities
Support Local Businesses Small businesses are hit hard during COVID-19. With the Shelter In Place order, businesses are forced to close up shop and wait until the order is lifted. If you are in need of resources, it is very helpful to visit your local shops website for what supplies they have for sale. By keeping these small businesses afloat, you are helping a family pay their bills and continue living without too much fear from loss of business.
