Taking a Break

May 18, 2020

Well, not really. No podcast episodes for the month of May due to a very bad computer. Naughty as heck. She/he could have reminded me of their age (6 years!) and I would have paid attention…treated her/him as a respected elder…gone easier on her/him. But no! Poof!

So, I’m waiting on a new one. And like everything else now, it’s moving slowly…from China, or Japan. Who knows? Not much else I can do but wait.

But for YOU…I’ve got some YouTube videos: Quarantine Life, videos related to Movement & Exercise, or a cooking demonstration for those with swallowing difficulties.

Maintaining a regular exercise routine has been vital for my mental and physical health during quarantine; I put together this list of mostly free or low cost online resources.

I’ve written a few COVID-19 blog posts: How I Cope with COVID-19 and How I Exercise at Home with Myotonic Dystrophy. I’ve even participated in two webinars related to maintaining good nutrition during the pandemic: Food Preparation for the DM Community and Practical Strategies for Eating Well and Keeping Immune System Strong during COVID-19.

If you want some evergreen, relevant podcast episodes, you might consider starting a mindfulness or meditation practice. Or prayer as a healing modality, which I believe can be akin to meditation.

So many things can be therapeutic; you know laughter can be the best medicine? Have you considered Sound Healing? I’ve seen several practitioners taking their work online.

My mental and physical clarity is enhanced by my daily walk through nature. Even if it’s just around the neighborhood. Every day I discover new natural and human-made curiosities.

One of my natural relaxing remedies — and the most downloaded episode of Glass Half Full — is explored here.

I hope you’re taking good care of yourself. Personally, I’m in it for the long haul; I’ll wait for that vaccination. I’ll miss hugging, traveling, and eating in restaurants but…I’d like to be around for awhile. Take care XOXO
