Act on physical distancing but don’t isolate. Isolation is horrible for people’s mental health. Find ways of staying connected, through text, calling, or facetime and consider scheduling social events such as a virtual coffee date or happy hour through Zoom or Google Hangouts. Get creative! Google Chrome actually has an extension called Netflix Party that allows you to watch Netflix with your friends remotely.

Maintain a regular routine that mirrors your typical day. Try to wake up and go to bed at the same time, take a shower, get out of your pajamas and change to normal working attire (women do your makeup), have a regular start time plus a dedicated workspace, schedule breaks, etc.

Stay active! Even while physical distancing, you can go for a walk or run. There are also online workout classes which you can do from the safety and comfort of your own home. It is a great time to either begin or deepen a meditation practice! Headspace has a great introduction series. My favorite app is Abide, some other good apps include Mindfulness, Calm and InsightTimer. Also have fun! This is a great time to do things you may not normally have time for, reading, cooking new recipes or perhaps cleaning and reorganizing things at home.
