Importance of Emotional Health During "Stay at Home" Order

Welp…we are still (trying) to stay healthy at home. I am extremely thankful that our family is able to stay on track with our nutrition and fitness and I do not take that for granted! We know many people are understandably struggling with their new “normal” when it comes to health and fitness, please know that Live Fit is here to help you in anyway possible!

What has been more difficult to regulate in our household is our emotional health! We are trying to all be respectful of each other’s space and time but let’s be honest I am use to talking to people all day and this quarantine is making me crazy! I have found a few things have helped me mentally feel better. Check out the list below and let me know what you are doing to stay sane during this time!

Meditation: I have started using the Calm app, it’s only 5 minutes a day and I am trying really hard to make it part of my routine

Yoga: I am thankful to practice yoga with a few clients , and on the days I don’t I try to spend 15-20 minutes stretching on my own.

Routine/Schedule: I still wake up at the same time each morning, make my bed, and then start my day.

Exercise: I have found that spending time on my own workout is essential! The first few weeks I was only working out with my clients (which I love) but found that I wasn’t getting the “me time” I needed from my own workout!

Time Outside: I am so thankful the weather has been fairly nice, taking a daily walk gets us out of the house and helps us shake out our legs!

Taking a Break of the News: We have stopped watching the news on TV in our house. I check a few sources in the morning and then after that I try to avoid it at all cost.

Check in with Family/Zoom: We are so thankful for Zoom! Not only does it allow some sense of normalcy when it comes to training our clients but it allows us to see friends and family. The HouseParty app allows you to play games which is so much fun!

I hope a few of these suggestions can help you! Don’t forget Emotional health is just as important as physical health. We hope to see all of you soon! We miss you so much!
