The second wave of the Coronavirus is upon us. Mercy.
Ten things to consider right now.
- You don’t have to say yes to any and everything. Don’t stretch yourself thin.
- Listen to your body. Days where you may need to sleep in longer, do that. Take daily walks in the park or in your neighborhood.
- Try journaling. It clears your head of junky thoughts and negative stuff that doesn’t belong.
- Whiteboards and notepads help make new ideas more tangible and keep schedules in place. Being more organized is super dope for productivity during these times.
- Don’t explain yourself to people, now isn’t the time for seeking validation or approval from others. Actually, never is a good time for seeking acceptance from others.
- Keep an eye on how much news you intake. Guard your heart and mind.
- Steer clear of folks who post pandemic news and statistics often. Gorging on current news is okay for some, not all.
- Check on family and friends, especially seniors and families having a hard time financially, experiencing illness or both.
- Keep essential workers; healthcare professionals, delivery personnel and similar in your hearts and prayers. Ask if anything is needed. If they refuse send a “thinking of you” card or gift card.
