EMBRACE YOUR HEALTHY INNER

know a woman who runs through her apartment for exercise and logs a lot of miles this way. A minimalist, with few objects to get in her way, she jogs through a very small home. She also reads or plays games on her phone as she runs, staying in shape and not bored a bit.
I am not advising this as a way to get more exercise, especially for me. I KNOW I would fall. But it does make you think. How creative could we get with exercise and our mental health?

The reality is that we will have to continue staying home through this
If you realize that this time could be a gift, you may approach each day differently.

winter of 2021. We have logged over 300 days since lockdowns began in the United States. We are not amateurs anymore. We are warriors. And warriors need to stay healthy. I reacted as many did when everything hit in 2020. Nervously over-eating, seeking information, listening to the news, freaking out and losing sleep. It’s been scary.
But there is always hope. Vaccinations have started. Many people have recovered and most of us have reprioritized what is truly important. Our health and the health of our loved ones is what matters. How do you stay healthy and keep your family healthy? First of all, the advice we have been given from the beginning is the smartest. Wear your masks, social distance and keep contact with others to a minimum. Wash your hands often. Then have some fun. You ARE allowed to have fun! Here are some ideas to get you started.
