Here is what I have learned this week:
1. Getting dressed each morning makes every encounter more meaningful. Think of it, you don’t go to church or temple in your pajamas, you don’t have a dinner party in old dirty sweats, you don’t go to work looking like you have partied all night.
I am not saying you have to wear full makeup, a suit and tie, high heels or go over the top, however taking care of yourself at this time, can ground you and change the way you think and experience life.
2. Fun exercise is crucial. I have started NIAtv.fit. Some of my friends do Zumba, ecstatic dance, yoga or other movement classes. Walking outside (with social distancing) is also another component to staying energized. Try exploring new streets, noticing the birds you hear, plants you see, the architecture of buildings. Remember that every time you do something different and new you build new brain cells.
3. Zoom parties where people are sharing are best with a small group of people. Or, make sure you have a moderator who will keep the flow going. Dance parties don't seem to matter how many are on.
I will continue to post videos and inspirational affirmations and rituals on my Instagram so please follow me so you can receive them.
