Staying Healthy Resources and Tips

General Tips

Remember that social distancing does not mean social isolation. It’s more important than ever to stay connected and keep in touch!

Have a twice daily “Walk and Talk” (cell phone of course) with a friend for at least 30 minutes.

Enjoy your breakfast or morning coffee over a video chat.

Have a Friday/Saturday night watch party! Netflix Party and other platforms have created the ability to watch a movie together while interacting.

Daily Facetime (or equivalent) with family members and friends.

Get creative with celebrating birthdays/anniversaries/etc. One thing we did was have all of our staff take a picture or video of a birthday message, splice them together, and shared it in a group ‘Happy Birthday.’

Talk to your kids! Be honest, we know what we know, and there’s a lot that we don’t. Stay calm, and answer their questions to the best of your ability. Don’t let the media be their authority.

Have a daily check in with your partner. How did the day go? What was surprising in a good way? What challenges did they face? How are they doing?

Choose something you’ve always wanted to learn/do, but have never had the time to dedicate to it, and set aside an hour to work on it. Examples include crochet, guitar, and learning a new language.
