Strategies for Staying Healthy- Calm & Positive

Hello!

Perhaps you are feeling anxious, stressed, confused and maybe a little scared of what is happening now in our world with COVID-19 and all the fear and uncertainty that surrounds this issue. 

In this blog I am going to share with you a few tips and things that work for me to keep me calm and well-balanced. I do have a morning routine that consists of gratitude, affirmations, a walk and meditation. The following suggestions are very positive and powerful in that it works when you are persistent,  mindful, dedicated to the commitment to do this daily. 

I hope you find them helpful and comforting.

Affirm that “All Is Well.” This is a positive affirmation for everyday use no matter what. Repeat this constantly until you believe it

A very powerful mantra you can focus on is “So Hum” which means “I am that. I am all, all is within me, all guides me and protects me.” As you inhale say So and as you exhale say Hum

Go to bed feeling good. Let go of upset before you get to bed

As you wake up in the morning be grateful for a new day

Set a good intention for your day, this can be done the night before prior to falling asleep

Do things that you enjoy doing at home, things that normally you don’t get to do during the week

Read a good book that interests you and motivates you or provokes you to think

Gardening. Now is the perfect time to start

Take walks or run outdoors now that the gyms are closed until further notice

Exercise outdoors such as ride a bicycle, skate, do yoga, etc.

Video chat with family and friends

Study

Practice your musical instruments or learn how to play one online

There is so much you can do now that you have the time. If you are working from home, then take frequent breaks for your sanity and breathe. Do not let your boss stress you out or the demands of a company stress you out, even more so at a time like this.

Focus on the Wanted

Put your focus and energy upon the things that you want. The outcome that you want. It takes the same amount of energy to think positively than it does to think negatively, so shift your focus to what you want. Think health instead of illness. Let your predominant thoughts be of a positive and loving nature. Be kind to yourself and others. Be mindful and take precautions when you do go out, ask people in your family and friends if they need anything that you can perhaps get for them while you are out getting necessities. This is how you show support and empathy in this challenging time.

Know that everything passes, and this shall too pass soon. Take this difficult time as an opportunity to connect, to grow and to learn acceptance for the things you cannot change, the things that are out of your control. Practice patience and relax in the knowledge that this shall pass. You are always running and worrying and you lose the moment of now. You have this chance right now to be present, understand that being present means to live. If you find yourself in good health, this is the time to be grateful for that. Never take your health for granted. Be a community server and giver to those that need your support. Give to a charity that provides support for families in need.

There is so much help you can give from the comfort of your home.
