The secret to survival may be self care and a news fast!

Covid-19 is a game changer. It is particularly
hard on Seniors and those with compromised
immune systems or comorbid health conditions.

Things will probably get worse,but you don’t
have to get worse.

The answer is self care. Get plenty of sleep,
eat well and exercise.

Take a few minutes each day to give thanks for
the things you do have, family, a home, food,
water, plus decent health insurance, at least
you do if you work with me you have great
Medicare coverage :).

Pray, meditate or do both. Most important, go
on a news fast. Really! If you live and breathe
only the constant Covid-19 news cycle, it’s
going to eat your sole.

I took a two day news break last weekend and
my wife told me I was a much happier person.
It certainly reduced my stress.

Check the news twice a day, briefly, but do not
let it eat you alive. You and your family will
be happier, I promise.
