With shelter-in-place now a reality for Americans, many of us are finding ourselves stuck at home. While this is a shocking new reality, we can definitely make the best of it. It’s a good time to learn, get healthy, and develop new ideas. Here are some ideas.
Many restaurants and bars are now closed. The truth is, prior to the coronavirus pandemic, many of us relied on fast and convenient food options. But now that we are at home, we can take the time to search on Google or pull out a couple of cookbooks and find new recipes.
This is a great idea because most of the recipes you find online or in books use whole foods. The meals you end up making are healthier, cheaper and there is a whole world of food to explore that’s not available in restaurants.
If you have kids at home with you, it’s a great opportunity to explore some new recipes and find healthy foods that they like to eat. It’s also a great time to pay attention to healthy food strategies like eating only 15% protein in your diet and only about 15% to 20% whole grains. The rest should be fruits and vegetables.
Now that many gyms are closed across the US, it’s a good time to create your own workout routine. Most of us can still access parks. As long as you are practicing social distancing, take this opportunity to begin a walking or jogging routine.
Exercise that elevates your heart rate for an extended period of time helps our heart get healthier. Cardio exercise also helps us lose weight and even detoxify.
Online, there are also many gyms that are posting free workouts. One such gym is the Tough Mudder Bootcamp. When you go to their website, you can download workouts that you can do at home using household items. The great thing about these workouts is that they are designed by professionals to get results. Yes, you will be planking and doing Russian sit-ups and doing burpees, but at the end you will feel satisfied!
Since we are Water for Life USA, we can’t get through a blog post without mentioning that drinking ionized water is a great idea! The truth is, with our busy schedules outside of the home, most of us do not drink 8 oz of ionized water every single hour. Well now is a great time to start!
Make a commitment to drink 8 oz of ionized water every single hour for the next two weeks and keep track of your progress. It’s one thing to own a water ionizer. It’s another thing altogether to actually drink has much ionized water as you are supposed to. So give it a try! You might be pleasantly surprised how much better you feel.
Being stuck at home can get tedious if you’re not careful. Monotony can lead to boredom. Boredom can lead to depression. Depression can lead to unhealthy habits. So, this is a great time to start new projects. If you have an idea for a book, start developing that idea and make a map. If you have an idea for starting a new business, why not explore it? Now is a great time to start evaluating your idea.
You should also consider getting a couple of new books to read. I usually get one good fiction book and one good non-fiction book. Expand your mind and invest in new projects and your house won’t be an empty vessel, it will be a portal for anywhere you want to go.
Being stuck at home means many of us aren’t able to work or generate the income we had before. We have a solution. We have a new in-house affiliate program that makes it easy to sign up, promote material to potential customers, and make sales. We pay a very high commission rate of 25%. So, if you need side hustle to help pay the bills, give us a try! All the details of our new program are in the article below this one.
The world is not ending by any means. In a few months everything will be back to normal. If you use this time to get healthy, develop new ideas and create awesomeness in your life, when everything goes back to normal, your life will be better! So stay positive and get to work! And don’t forget to drink your ionized water!
