Ep 91: Am I Watering Flowers or Weeds? (Plus: thriving in the world of COVID-19 social distancing)

Listen Later

Schedules have cleared, virus related memes are flooding the internet, and our busy lives are shifting towards pause.

This is a unique season, one that comes with opportunities to experience our lives in a new way.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of intentionally choosing our response, being aware of our role and our energy, as well as lots of simple ways to enjoy time as we practice social-distancing.

Ideas:

  • Get your at-home yoga on! Down Dog app is currently free (full version) through April 1, 2020. YouTube also has great options (search kids yoga if you want to involve your kids!)
  • Write letters to grandparents or elderly in homes who cannot have visitors. Also write and send thank you notes (it's one of our favorite powerful activities!)
  • Give meditation a try! If you are a beginner, HeadSpace App is a great way to ease into it. I use the Insight Timer app regularly for sounds and guided meditations (it has lots of great free content).
  • Try a headstand or handstand! Maybe have a contest with your family, or create backyard olympics!
  • Take a walk or a hike (just BE in nature)
  • Do some spring cleaning/organizing! Try a time-lapse on your camera to get the kids to help out and then watch!
  • Study in preparation for upcoming General Conference 
  • Give family and friends a phone call! Or FaceTime or text.
  • Watch a TED Talk (try Father Gregory Boyle's TED Talk on Compassion & Kinship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipR0kWt1Fkc)
  • Make a bucket list (audition for a game show, learn a language, run a race, appear on a magazine cover....)
  • Leave a review for a local business
  • Create! Craft, draw, paint, color, sculpt, learn a song
  • Read or listen to a good book! 

    • ***JOIN OUR VIRTUAL BOOK CLUB! We are reading "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell this month, and will discuss on the podcast next month.
