Let's Discuss: Whitney Christian, MD, article "Get sunshine and fresh air while sheltering in place"4/13/2020 Being cooped up in your house during the COVID-19 outbreak can be stressful, whether you’re working from home, homeschooling your children or just monitoring what’s happening on the Internet.
-Article "Get sunshine and fresh air while sheltering in place" by Whitney Christian, MD Our country is working through a crisis. Here is a resource that motivates us to prioritize our well-being above all. In order to even consider work or education, giving yourself the necessary nutrients and R&R is important. To those who are fortunate with gardens, lawns, balconies, or windows, be mindful of your environment and how you interact with it. Taking care of the space around you is another way of caring for yourself and others who might be sharing your space. I always remind myself to eat, hydrate, and move the same ways as I've always done. On days the sun comes out I like to walk around in the garden. A tip my mother gave me is that, when you're able, go outside and try to look out as far as you can. When our eyes are glued to screens and indoor spaces all day, I can only imagine that we're hindering our ability to see the bigger picture. I want to ask how everyone's been taking care of themselves at this time. What fun and engaging things have you been immersed in lately, and how do you take breaks?
