5 Things to Do Instead of Freaking Out...


Control Freaks, unite. 

FIVE THINGS TO DO instead of buying more groceries. 

1. Have a dance party. Do you still know the lyrics? 

2. Open your windows. (My neighbors know I still know the lyrics!)  

In nursing school, which I was in until I realized I’m very passy outy, I learned that WWII nurses would sing, “fling high the windows!” as they worked with a lot of sick and injured people under their care in tight places. 

Light and air will reduce germs and your stress level. I still sing this in my head as I open windows. 

3. Do squats. You’ll come out of this with a great butt. 

4. Send a silly video to your friends. They’ll laugh a little, and you’ll have a little piece of history to refer to, which will offer perspective when this passes.  

5. Write. A poem, a song, your thoughts, a blog, a book.

6. Clean, rearrange your furniture, put together some things to donate. I know this is six, but in the long history of Five Things, there’s always at least six, always more. We’ll get through this. There’s more.
