We are over one month into social distancing, and I do hope you have found some enjoyment in what is around you as you define new routines with work and family. In order to support the mission to stay at home, I have moved my practice to 100% virtual. I have always found tremendous value in video sessions, I mean how often do we get to see each other in your own kitchen? I know that with added stress–and we all have them in different forms–its not uncommon to look to food as a way to control the unknown. Below are a few general guidelines that I have personally found helpful as I navigate these uncertain days 

• establish a schedule for mealtimes
• exercise 
• daily fresh air

Don’t forget to be flexible with your routines, eat a balanced diet, and move your body in a way that feels restorative.
