Tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle during the Covid-19 outbreak
Remember- we are all going through this time together and it will pass.
Keep in regular contact with the main people in your life by phone, email or video and let them know if you need more support.
Set up a daily routine: plan activities that are fun.
Learn a new skill online
Read that book - you can also download books through your library.
Eat well - keep your nutrition up, check with your dietitian for any advice on nutrition.
Stay active- create an exercise routine you can do at home including exercises you can do in a chair (check with your physio for exercises right for you).
Practice regular breathing exercises to maintain calm.
Try this breathing exercise:
While seated or lying down, pay attention to your normal breathing for a few breaths.
Then, slowly count 1-2-3-4 as you inhale through your nose.
Exhale for the same four-second count.
As you inhale and exhale, be mindful of the feelings of fullness and emptiness in your lungs.
