Cooped Up?

People Looking at Laptop

As wonderful as family members can be, this idea of staying at home all day, every day is a big test for all. How are you doing? Remember, the last people who should have to deal with your frustrations are loved ones.

I’m certainly no expert, but here are some ideas:

1. Eat, rest and take regularly prescribed medications.

2. Avoid alcohol or substance use.

3. Weather permitting, go outside. The birds are chirping!

4. Take inventory of emergency supplies

5. Keep informed of any new developments

6. Call or Facetime distant family or friends

7. Read or write

The most important thing to keep in mind is that this “Shelter in Place” mandate provides you with extended time at home that could become a unique opportunity. How can you and family members in the house use this time productively?

Also, be kind!

If not today, when?
