Tips for Keeping Your Edge

Physical

  • Take it easy if you need rest. Switch to something more moderate if needed. 
  • Kelly’s action item: Commit to running a half marathon (with Maria).
  • Maria’s action item: Keep running and work towards the goal of running a half marathon (with Kelly).

Mental

  • Create a routine for yourself, even if you don’t have to do it.
  • Attack a project you’ve been putting off to feel productive.
  • Sleep and eat well to keep your body strong and healthy.
  • Read material that challenges you or uplifts you, not related to the pandemic.
  • Gamify your challenges with a reward system.
  • Take an online class, webinar or another small educational module.
  • Maria’s action item: Find something challenging to read and learn from.
  • Kelly’s action item: Keep knitting. 

Emotional

  • It’s okay to feel sad or disappointed sometimes.
  • Remember that there is meaning in difficulty - even if we don’t see the answers right now.
  • Connect with people you have not spoken with in awhile.
  • Avoid media - write the news headlines for the future you’d like to see.
  • Maria’s action item: Create her news headlines for the future. Look for signs of meaning in the difficult time.
  • Kelly’s action item: Charge listeners to touch base with Kelly and Maria on their emotional well being.
