Stay strong! Things will get worse before they get better, but they WILL get better. I keep reminding myself of that paraphrased quote. That too shall pass. We live in crazy times. The impact of the pandemic is truly shocking. Here in the Caribbean, we only have a few cases, but we all know that with time it will increase. This means that we have to start practicing preventative measures from the get-go. STAY STRONG. TAKE THESE PRECAUTIONS: 1) Wear your Mask if possible ( The virus can stay airborne for up to 8 hrs and more) 2) Wash your hands regularly/ Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose, and mouth 3) Use Hand sanitizers often 4) Avoid large gatherings 5) Practice physical distancing 6) Order take out if you must 7) Exercise 8) Reduce alcohol intake/ Quit Smoking 9) Avoid public transportation where possible 10) Keep enough food at home 11) Stay hydrated 12)Take Vitamin C 13) Ventilate, Ventilate, Ventilate---Open Windows..allow the air to flow through (Also in your Cars) and last but not least, if you feel overwhelmed, the folks at Life Hack say you should practice the technique called S.N.A.C.K, which will enable you to quickly move into a calm, focused state. Here's how it works: S.N.A.C.K S= Stop! just stop whatever you're doing. Take deep breathes to center yourself N= Notice! Pay close attention to what is happening within and around you. A= Accept! Acknowledge without judgment the things you're struggling with. C= Curious! Ask yourself questions like-- What am I feeling? What do I need right now? K= Kindness! Respond to yourself and others with kindness and understanding. Try this technique the next time you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed out. I guarantee it'll help you stay grounded, at ease and in control of your life. Hard times may hold us down, but they will not last forever. This too shall pass. Stay Safe! STAY AWARE, STAY ALERT, STAY AWAKE AND STAY STRONG! You're more powerful than you think. #staysafe #stayaware #staystrong #attractfreedom #setmindtopurpose https://www.instagram.com/p/B-qSKuYljUG/?igshid=eo5ne34b88qr
