There is no denying that right now we are living in a time and lifestyle that most of us never imagined actually happening to us. This morning I went to the grocery store and half of the people there were wearing masks. I went early in the morning to avoid crowds and still carefully maneuvered my way through the store to avoid people. Many of us are working from home and many people are out of a job. Surgeries are be canceled based on urgency in order to preserve hospital space and supplies. I never imagined I would watch a concert on tv with all of the musicians singing from their homes.
This time is also the perfect opportunity to connect with yourself and the people that you do have with you at home. We simply don’t have the distractions of going out and doing things. Staying home to work on a project is the only option. It is a unique opportunity to express creativity and I think it is going to be life-changing for our mentality and way of living.
Personally, I have had a lot of fun cooking and spending more time in the kitchen. I’ve also been working on my business a lot and developing new ideas. As a Nutritionist, I work with a variety of people in teaching them how to holistically care for their bodies. With the whole body in mind, I teach how to eat for optimal health. Developing meal plans and recipe collections are common amongst my clients. I can do basic meal plans or develop something custom. Quarantine is a perfect time to tweak your diet. Since you are at home, you have full control over what goes into your body. Why not take the opportunity to try something new and treat your body well!
