Adjusting to Your New Normal
Today is the end of the month; it’s also the end of the first quarter of the year. I would guess that due to COVID-19, you may have to set new and perhaps different goals. I know I am; my seminar schedule has blown up completely—for now. The challenge is that we really don’t know how to set business or work goals because we don’t know what the new normal will be, but we’ll adapt.
However this is the perfect time to decide what you want your new normal health to be like.
What changes do you want to make? Lose weight? That’s on nearly everyone’s list, but there are many other potential health goals, such as to get more flexible, gain muscle, increase stamina, increase strength, lower blood sugar and HbA1c, do 50 consecutive push-ups, lower blood pressure, and more such as building the best immune system you can. We may have to “Stay Home and Stay Safe” and we may have to work from home, but we get the one thing we all want more of: time. Time to cook better. Time to stretch. Time to learn more about how to be healthy. Time to exercise, because that’s one thing we’re allowed to do outdoors. As you set those goals, set your health goals for the new normal for you.
Let me suggest one area to start: prepare yourself mentally. This is going to be a long, drawn-out process, and it’s not going to be over soon. There may be repeated periods of “Stay Home and Stay Safe” coming. You have to be ready for that.
The normal you know today is gone. It will take time to develop a new normal. It will be different than this one, and it won’t be the final one, but there will be a new normal until a real treatment is found that works quickly and prevents outbreaks and a vaccine is developed. Let’s get there together.
Back to the idea of time to learn more about how to be healthy; as you’re listening to podcasts, add a Dr. Chet MP3 or CD to your playlist. Or now that you have more time to cook, get the Real-Life Detox book or e-book to give your body a better chance to be healthy.
