Okkaaayyy… I decided to add extra activity. This may not sound fun but it’s important 😁😁

RE-ASSES YOUR GOALS

In the midst of the whole Corona Virus epidemic, ask yourself:

”What goals did I set for myself at the start of the year?

Which of them have I achieved?

Where am I having difficulties?

What can I do to get better?”

In all, now isn’t the time to get unnecessarily worked up. I saw a video of some people in quarantine singing Rihanna’s B***h Better have my money and it got me smiling 😁😁

Relax, take deep breathes, eat right, stay hydrated and get lots of sleep.

Remember that handwashing is very important. Wash with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and when you have no access to water, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

Should you feel some sort of way, put a call through to your medical practitioners and let them take it from there.

Stay safe guys!
