Many people are upset or fearful, some may be ill and need practical support. Focus on health, not disease. Take care of yourself and encourage others too. Eat balanced meals, keep hydrated, get enough sleep. Go for a long walk with a spouse or friend and your dog! Garden. Enjoy some sunshine. If you practice a faith, do not neglect worship, even if it’s not your usual routine. Set aside time each day to meditate and pray. Use newfound time to connect with people. Not traveling? Fewer events? Give your friends or family a call. Share a great story and a laugh. Train the brain. Focus on that which is good and edifies the soul, not fear. Take a break from the headlines and social media; read your favorite poem or book or meditation.
