Even since last week\u2019s episode there have been many changes in the situation in the US and around the world, and we want to express our sincerest appreciation and sympathy to the \u201cessential\u201d workers and to anyone who has had a loved one sickened by the virus. This is uncharted territory for all of us and now is the time to band together and help those around us while staying at home to prevent the spread. This week\u2019s practical tips are:\n\n1.Get grounded \u2013 Make a point to be mindful every day. Think about where you are, where you have come from, and where you are going.\n\n2.Create a schedule \u2013 Whether you are at home alone, with your roommate or spouse, or with your whole family, it is important to keep the day as structured as possible. This will help you stay productive while also making sure that you set aside time for yourself.\n\n3.Reflect on changes that you could make \u2013 Write down a list of your goals or tasks you want to complete and then chart out the path to get there. That might mean making financial decisions, letting go of some things, joining support or accountability groups, signing up for e-learning opportunities, planning for future projects, teaching others online, or many other things.\n\n4.Stay informed but don\u2019t overconsume \u2013 Be intentional about reading the news every day or every other day from a few reputable news sources, but don\u2019t read so much that you get overwhelmed. Give yourself space to process the news and how it affects you, which probably means not scrolling through social media too much.\n\nTopics Covered in this Episode:\n\u2022Keeping calm during uncertain times\n\u2022Coronavirus\n\u2022Fighting fear with facts\n\u2022Mindfulness and staying grounded\n\u2022Navigating the unexpected\n\nConnect with Kimi:\nhttp://www.kimiwalker.com/\nhttps://web.facebook.com/kimiwalker\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kimiwalker \nhttps://www.youtube.com/user/KimiFitWell","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/a80d8888-1625-4671-9407-8e026d362cf9/18dde55191fbaf25ccc4c9ced1a26404.jpg"}
