Another challenge to myself - meditate for 30 days straight.
Due to COVID-19, it looks like I will be staying indoors for few weeks and during this time I would like help develop myself mentally, physically and emotionally.
Over the past few years, I have been trying to mediate - literally to stay in one place and to connect my inner self. This may sound easy, but definitely difficult (especially for me). So, instead of staying indoors and watching some random show.... why note develop myself.
The goal of this challenge to help me to do the following:
1) Let your brain run wild
2) Connect with myself
3) Rediscover who I am
4) To take a break
Let's give this a shot and see how it goes.
Being indoors in the past few weeks, given me and opportunity to connect with myself. During this time, I have decided to take up a challenge (which I hope to make into an ongoing habit). I am going to challenge myself to drink at least 64 oz water for the next 30 days starting May 1st 2020 (Yes it a random day).
H2O - it offers an abundance of benefits like increasing energy, promoting weight loss, flushing out toxins, and boosting the immune system.
It is recommended that an individual consume at least 64 ounces of water per day. If you want to get more specific, divide your body weight in half, then aim to drink that many ounces of water per day. For example, a person who weighs 175 pounds would have a goal to drink 79 ounces.
It seems like a simple thing, but many of us don't drink enough water (I am guilty of this)... so let give this a shot!!
Together, we can slow the spread of COVID-19 by making a conscious effort to keep a physical distance between each other. Social distancing is proven to be one of the most effective ways to reduce the spread of illness during an outbreak.
What does Social Distancing mean?
- avoiding crowded places and non-essential gatherings
- avoiding common greetings, such as handshakes
- limiting contact with people at higher risk (e.g. older adults and those in poor health)
- keeping a distance of at least 2 arms lengths (approximately 2 metres) from others, as much as possible
This means making changes in your everyday routines in order to minimize close contact with others.
Here’s how you can practice social distancing:
- greet with a wave instead of a handshake, a kiss or a hug
- stay home as much as possible, including for meals and entertainment
- shop or take public transportation during off-peak hours
- host virtual playdates for your kids
- use technology to keep in touch with friends and family
If possible,
- use food delivery services or online shopping
- exercise at home or outside
- work from home
Remember to:
- wash your hands often for at least 20 seconds and avoid touching your face
- cough or sneeze into the bend of your arm
- avoid touching surfaces people touch often
Please take care and stay safe ✌
Right now, at this moment there is only one thing in all our minds - COVID-19.
It has brought a dramatic change to all of daily lifestyles and rituals.
At this hard time, it best to be "Effectively and Efficiently"
The words effective and efficient both mean "capable of producing a result," but there is an important difference. Effective means "producing a result that is wanted". Efficient means "capable of producing desired results without wasting materials, time, or energy". - Source LearnersDictionary
To start off on the right foot, here are some items you can follow:
1) Maintain your daily routine
Don't change anything from your daily routine, wake up at the same time as you normally do and continue with the same morning errand but just indoors.
2) Take care of your immune
Drink lots of fluids, keep a nutritious diet and keep clean (ps. wash your hands)
3) Separate work and home lifestyles
Yes, most of us have the luxury to work from home and please don't take it or granted
4) Stay Active
Being active is hard, when you are at home but try some indoor workouts
5) Rest Well
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Please stay safe everyone!!
I am wishing you and your family good health and strength during this hard time.
