Surviving the Virus!!!

For folks still in Shanghai/any other city in China you may be going stir-crazy. I’m not going stir-crazy yet, but I did just arrive back on Saturday. Here are some tips for surviving the virus:

1: Stay out of all these WeChat groups and online groups/sites- that are only talking about the virus. Yes, it is important to stay informed and up to date with what is happening, but you will go nuts if that is all you talk about all day everyday!

2: Start and finish a few books! Download some e-books and start reading! Start an online book club of a short book and discuss it.

3: There are some great documentaries on Netflix! Watch a documentary.

4: Any projects you have started and haven’t completed? Try finishing those now. You have nothing but time so you might as well be productive!

5: Find an at home workout challenge and stick to it! The routine of wake, eat, potty, sleep sounds great, but throw a workout or two in your day to keep your body where it needs to be.

6: Cook some new dishes. You have lots of time so try out some new recipes!

7: Take up yoga – there are some great online sites – and YouTube is great – for trying yoga. Try something new during this time.

8: Listen to a podcast- or learn how to start one! Start a blog or vlog or YouTube channel. Find something that really interests you and jump into that!

9: Meditate or Journal.

10: Keep in touch with your family and friends at home. Social media can be useful and positive during a situation like this.

I know a lot of people are having a hard time with 2020- January has been a tough year! . Yeah, you read that right. January has been a tough year. A lot of folks have decided to end their expat journey and return home. That’s fine. We must all do what is best for us. Take each day as it comes. Breathe and work towards what you want. Make this year what you want of it.
