What Are Your Best Practices?

Each day's plans are a moving target and liable to veer in unexpected directions.

To get through this time, I have some personal best practices.

Here are some of the daily habits that help me to remain strong in body, mind, and spirit.

• Enjoying a tall mug of morning coffee

• Reading a brief passage of Scripture, praying, meditating, and journaling

• Exercising, showering, wearing makeup and dressing for the day with some jewelry and a scarf and no PJ's

• Eating at least three healthy meals a day of fresh, simple, whole foods

• Enjoying a daily small serving of dark chocolate

• Enjoying a glass of wine several times a week

• Staying in touch with my children, mother, and friends

• Practicing physical distancing AND being social by looking toward others, calling them by name, waving, "air" handshakes and hugs, and chatting from a distance.

• Getting 7-8 hours of sleep at night

• For better sleep, getting away from digital devices one hour before bedtime

• Watching no more than one hour of news

• Listening only to the experts with the hard data

• Giving the benefit of the doubt to others

• Providing practical help within the community
