What can we do to stay physically and mentally healthy post COVID-19?
What can we do to stay physically and mentally healthy post COVID-19?
Wash Your Hands
Wash Your Hands
To stop the spread of any germs, be sure to throughly wash your hands with soap and water for at least twenty seconds. That is just enough time to sing the Happy Birthday song twice if you do not want to count out the seconds!
Make sure to wash every part of your hands, sometimes we tend to miss some areas.
Keep Your Hands Away From Your Face
Keep Your Hands Away From Your Face
Avoid touching eyes, nose, or mouth with your hands to keep any germs away from your face. Especially if your hands have not been recently washed.
Build Supportive Relationships
Build Supportive Relationships
Supportive Relationships are essential for individual and collective well-being. Social Support protects us from the effects of stress and helps us escape depression. Post COVID-19, it is especially important to develop supportive relationships with family, peers, and teachers in order to recover from COVID-19 challenges.
Sneeze or Cough?
Sneeze or Cough?
If you sneeze or cough, cover your mouth with your elbow or a sleeve, then wash you hands as soon as you can afterwards. If you feel unwell, please contact a medical professional.
Go Offline
Go Offline
During the COVID-19 pandemic, our lives revolved around the internet. We built habits and routines that included extra phone and technology use. It is important to build new habits to ensure you are taking care of your brain and well-being. Yoga before bed instead of screen time is a great way to do this. Before going to bed, do some stretches and meditation to calm your mental load.
Avoid Post-Lockdown Burnout
Avoid Post-Lockdown Burnout
It is normal to feel overwhelmed, run-down, and overstimulated as you get back into routines post COVID-19. Scheduling "me time" to get rest and restore is vital for our overall well-being. "Me time" can be anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour of stretching, journaling, or taking a bath.

Everyone is affected by COVID -19 in different ways!
How you can support yourself.
Get enough sleep. Make sure to get at least eight hours of sleep.
Take deep breaths. Get comfortable. You can lie on your floor or stand. Think about something that makes you happy. Breathe in through your nose. Let your belly fill with air. Breathe out through your nose. Take three more full, deep breaths.
Eat Healthy. Make sure you eat fruits and vegetables try to stay away from unhealthy foods like french fries, choose apples instead.
Take a walk or exercise. Make your own workout routine and try to follow it for a while. Notice the changes in your psychical health. After completing the workout for a couple of days you may notice yourself getting better.
Connect with text, phone, Facetime, Skype, Facebook, and other means of social media with your friends and family!
For parents, it is important to watch common changes in your child. Remember PARENTS help STUDENTS meet their goals!!!!
Talk to your child about the COVID-19 outbreak, answer any questions they may have.
School performance: Make sure your child is completing work that is being sent home. Make sure your child knows they can ask you for help.
Sleep habits, try to get seven hours a night.
Monitor your child's screen time: With students still having to complete school work that is being sent home one hour of screen time a day should be enough for your child.
Be a role model for your child make sure you're getting enough sleep and exercise as well.
