In these uncertain times, we're all looking for tips to help keep us on track. Here is what has worked for me and my clients so far:

Keep a daily morning routine. Make your bed. Go for a run, Have a shower, get dressed, have breakfast, get a hot cup of coffee / tea. 

Open the blinds or curtains - and if the weather permits, open the windows. 

Stay active and healthy.

• Don’t lose the good habits you have - or take this opportunity to develop new ones!
• Get physical - exercise or do yoga / meditation for a good 30 mins every day (having no time, is not an excuse)
• Get outside. Go for a short walk outside, at least your backyard or sit on your patio. Get some fresh air and sunlight.
• Eat as healthy as you can. I know you may have limited supplies, but make the best choices you can.

Use the telephone.

• Have daily calls / face times with your loved ones.
• Check on your neighbors.
• If you’re working, before you send that email or text, consider calling them.

Use this time wisely.

• Instead of spending all your time in front of the TV….
• Learn something new
• Read that book or listen to that podcast
• Journal
• If you’re not by yourself, play games. Talk. Laugh. Tell stories. Eat meals together.

Practice gratitude and thankfulness

• Find something every morning and every evening for which you can be thankful 

Remember that this period of transition will end, and that we’re all on this together.

• Visualize how you want to be - positive? Stronger? Smarter? Better skilled in something? Your energy goes where your mind and focus go.
• If you feel a wave of stress or anxiety, don’t try to suppress it. Recognize it for what it is, breathe, and reach out to someone to help get you through it. 

And...let's try a mindset shift. Ready?

You are not forced to remain at home. You GET to be home to spend more time with family.

You do not need to sit still. You have been given the OPPORTUNITY to focus on improvements, marketing and business development on your own schedule.

This will not last forever. You have been GRANTED a few weeks to work on those opportunities.

You are not completely cut off from all interactions. There ARE businesses and people out there who need your services and help, even via virtual or digital delivery.

We do not live in a vacuum. We will emerge with more KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE that we currently have.

You control your mindset. You can be the person you choose to be. You can use this time to your advantage if you have the right mindset
