In order to try to be mindful of the times we live in and reduce spread of the COVID 19 virus I am transitioning to telehealth. At this time how we transition is an individual process for each client and I will work with all of my clients to come up with a plan that suits them. For webinar I use Zoom and I subscribe to their package that is HIPAA compliant. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and/or feedback about this process.

Renewal
Spring seems like a great time to start back up with my blog posts. This Spring we are all in desperate need of some renewal. So far 2020 has been challenging. We are all experiencing something quite unique for our time. Humanity of course has seen and endured other pandemics but enduring a pandemic in the informational age is filled with easy access to ongoing death tolls and news that makes the calmest of us a little on edge. It is also, however, filled with easy access to all sorts of positive resources. After a week of seeing clients since schools and restaurants were ordered to close I have been able to gather suggestions from clients of things that are helping to keep them renewed and not drained with all the alarming aspects of what they see online. Here are some of the ideas I have heard this past week.
- Yoga with Adrien is a continued recommendation from my clients, https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene
- limiting social media to only an hour a day
- Having friends call up and give them the news instead of hearing it on line.
- You tube projects
- Pinterest projects
- Online parties and meetups with friends
- Looking up old friends online and catching up.
- Starting an Etsy shop
- Getting rid of clutter by selling items on Ebay
- Online yoga classes and fitness classes that are being offered for free through gyms and places like yoga journal
- Online free virtual tours of museums
- Replacing 30 minutes of social media time with a podcast
- Finding online support groups via NAMI and local hospitals
- mindfulness courses and meditation through apps like “Insight Timer” and “Head Space”
This is the current list and I will continue to collect ideas and do a follow up post on this later. As we try to follow guidelines and stay safe, I ask you to take a moment to ground yourself and try to find some positivity for the day. It does appear that this may be a long haul for us and we are going to need some ongoing renewal as we keep moving forward.
Take Care and wishing you peace.
