Working from home also gave me the chance to take yoga classes from my sister most days of the week.
On the days we had no yoga practice, I would spend 30 minutes of brisk walking around my home – so I have been able to exercise regularly and keep my heart and circulation active and my mind oxygenated and alert! If you are not already doing so, I suggest 30-60 minutes of cardio-vascular exercise (e.g. Zumba, walking or cycling) and another 30-60 minutes of stretching and toning (e.g. weights, pushups, yoga) perhaps on alternating days.
I also gave myself a daily routine that included an online learning activity, physical exercise and time with family (my mom). I encourage these in my counseling clients as well. A daily routine is good because it gives structure and the feeling of continuity and reassuring regularity in our lives (important in this time of uncertainty). Giving yourself a goal or a project to focus on each day is another way to keep your mind active and engaged. Some people bake, some read/draw/write, while some have surprised themselves with harvesting vegetables from their garden!
I trust readers that you have also been making good use of your time – no use letting our fearful thoughts interfere with our life, challenging enough as it! Prevention is the best and keeping a healthy diet (lots of fish, vegetables & fruits), exercising regularly and keeping our minds active and continuously learning is the best way to do it!
