Bonus tip: make stuff


Real self-care is particularly important these days.  Here are four free things to do that keep us safe, improve our fitness, and boost mood:

1.     Walk, at a safe distance from anyone we don’t live with already.  I like walking because it offers the opportunity to notice the world around us more than running or even biking, but those are good, too.
2.     Stretch.  All this tension is not good for us.  Even if all we do is raise our arms overhead or tilt our heads from side to side to release neck tension, we are ahead.
3.     Drink that water.  Dehydration causes crabbiness.  Crabbiness plus tight quarters causes arguments.  Arguments cause stress.  Easiest reduction of family friction ever!
4.     Talk to people.  Again, maintain safe distance, but we die when we don’t connect, even the introverts among us.
