Jessica’s Guide to Staying Well During COVID

1. Get dressed up!

Pick out dress pants and a nice top you would wear for a special occasion, like Sunday morning! Always start off with a cup of coffee. Every Sunday, I grab my note book and Bible, I go into my favorite place to sit and I go online. I open up to my church’s Sunday sermon. I sit on my comfy couch and sip coffee. This routine gives me structure for the week. It gives me something to look forward too. I invite you to dress up, turn on a sermon or your favorite podcast, and enjoy!

2. Go for a Walk!

There are so many ways to go for a walk. When I go for walks and I see nature that inspires me, I like to take a picture of it. For example, when I see beautiful clouds or a branch when the sunlight is shining around it from a nice view, I take a picture. You can get outside to take your dog or pet for a walk. It is also good for the pet to get out so it does not feel so isolated and held inside the house.

3. Watch a Movie!

For relaxing you can turn on your favorite movie, if nothing is good on TV. I recently watched Bambi with my niece. She watched up to the sad scene at the beginning. So I put on Bambi 2, she then came back to watch with me. When watching a group movie make sure everyone is comfortable! Don’t forget the popcorn!
