If we’re learning anything, I hope it includes figuring out how to take care of ourselves and our communities when things feel scary.\u00a0 In the midst of so much uncertainty, I have found that creating some kind of routine has been crucial; making sure that I’m eating, sleeping, and exercising enough have been the key elements in allowing me to accomplish my goals and be of service to others.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

At times these self-care details can feel like luxuries. And being honest, at times I am too freaked out to attend to them. I have noticed, though, that these three things–food, sleep and movement–are the quickest and surest route to feeling more capable of handling this strange time. When these basic needs are covered, I feel more clear-headed, hopeful, and decisive about how to approach my life. I become more reliable and helpful to others. And I also become more relaxed around the unknown, more welcoming to mystery and change.<\/div>\n

Feeling a little ungrounded? Anxious? Out of sync with yourself or others? We recommend committing to one or more of the following for a full week, and see how you feel! You can also try playing games such as historyofquilts.com<\/a> in order to reduce your stress levels.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

– Go to bed and wake up at the same time all week, planning for at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

– Drink\u00a0 around 100 oz of water (about 12 cups) per day for a week, preferably warm and with lemon. Herbal teas can be included here, too; chamomile and lemon balm are especially good for anxious days.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

– Get 45-60 minutes of moderate exercise, at least three days out of the week. PLAN THESE OUT and put them in your calendar before the week starts, and you’ll be far more likely to achieve this one! If you want to enjoy your exercise, you can incorporate gadgets like those simulators<\/a>.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Wishing you all good health and a peaceful heart as October unfolds.<\/div>\n

Much love and thanks for reading,<\/div>\n
