Pre-winter Pandemic Preparation, A Thread

Preventative care: Start building your immune system NOW. That means immune supporting foods and herbs, proper rest, drinking water, minimizing stress and physical movement, if possible.

Get all the things you need for your health, i.e. vision correction, a thermometer, herbs, tinctures, pain relievers, tissues etc…

THERAPY-find a therapist if you haven’t already, find support groups

Make sure you have enough masks

Find ways that you can move your body indoors, anything. It doesn’t have to be traditional “exercise”.

Figure out the things that will make your living space more comfortable. It could be decluttering, reorganizing or purchasing new furniture, bedding, new pillows, etc…

Get proper outwear for cold and wet weather: hat, gloves, boots, a warm winter jacket.

Light up your life! Shorter days can cause feels of depression and despair. Get some string lights or lamps to add more brightness to your living space.

Make a plan on how to remain social and connected while being at home. This could be scheduled video chats or phone calls or writing letters to loved ones.

This list isn't exhaustive but it's a start! Now is the time to be thinking about how we can best be setup for winter in the context of covid and the upcoming cold/flu season.
