Of course, nothing beats simply getting outside and going for a walk! Spending some time in the sunshine is so important right now; fresh air is good for your mind and body and the sunshine provides lots of vitamin D. Try to get outside for at least 30 minutes a day!
Connect with Friends
Just because you’re practicing social distancing doesn’t mean you have to be literally socially distant – just physically! Now more than ever it’s important to connect with friends and family, especially if you’re feeling isolated. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways you can do that. Weekly or daily video calls with your loved ones will have you feeling like you’re right alongside with everyone else. This is one of our favorite things to do while social distancing!
