My favorite home-isolation resources

Be sure to read this to the end because I’ve got links to 7 awesome free resources to help make this time of social distancing easier.

First of all, I hope you’re having a good Friday!

Speaking of Good Friday…you may or may not be aware there is a worldwide fast going on today to come together and help end this pandemic. Anyone and everyone is invited to join in. I’m participating and just wanted to let you know in case you want to too (and don’t worry if you get a late start -it still counts 😉 ).

Is it bad to say I have quite enjoyed the change of pace COVID 19 has brought?

I mean, of course I hate that people have died, others are sick, the economy has tanked – There’s absolutely nothing good about any of that!

But during this temporary time I’ve found many good things to be grateful for because of it.

I love not having to be anywhere at any time.

I love increased Zoom calls with our grown kids who are spread from California to Washington, DC.

I love being home trading in my former FOMO (fear of missing out) for JOMO (joy of missing out).

I adore the extra calls I’ve been having with my SimplyHealed Practitioner Community (they are all SO lovely!)

I appreciate that people around the world are coming together in kindness -anyway, that has been my experience.

I love that I already know how to do healing sessions over phone and/or Skype and that my amazing clients do too.

I actually love that this has pushed me to get my SimplyHealed Training online sooner than scheduled, for training globally.

I’m inspired by the innovation and creativity of entrepreneurs who have figured out how to serve their audience virtually.

I love how businesses of all sizes are reaching out to help each other and their customers.

I love that social distancing initiated a couple new Marco Polo friend groups -that’s fun!

And wow, I’ve never received so many nice emails from companies just to say “We have your back” (you too?)

And, finally, I love that during this time I’ve found some fun resources and that I can share them with you!

Have you heard of Joe, the world’s PE teacher?

He’s been streaming workout videos every day for kids at home (and parents). Yep, I thought I’d get out for a few more walks since my gym closed…but well, I’m hoping Joe can get me back in shape, lol. Although there are tons of free workouts online, I think it’s great he talks to the kids as he goes.

If you need an escape…
Every Friday, until further notice, Cirque du Soleil is offering the opportunity to watch 60-minutes of some of its most incredible acrobatic moments -free online! They’ve also uploaded some pretty awesome behind-the scenes videos to watch anytime.

And if you need a treat while watching Cirque du Soleil… (since I’m working out with PE teacher Joe and all)

Check with your local movie theatre, I know mine is offering curbside popcorn pickup or even delivered. I’m still trying to support local businesses! In Utah: https://www.megaplextheatres.com/i/curbside-pickup

And get a load of this – Disney is making it easier to get through this time by sharing their churro recipe, ha ha!
