Maintaining a "Socially Distant" Mindset

One of the greatest revelations
during the COVID-19 pandemic

(and subsequent quarantine)

was

"You cannot control

other people"

and although

their lifestyles
their practices
their belief systems

may adversely affect you
those things are independently theirs

and even if you are the most careful
some things are beyond your control

so

(unless you are planning to

go completely "off the grid")

you must learn to navigate this world
with the people living in it with you

--------------------------------

Here are some things to consider:

Minimize contact

"If you don't need

to go out, don't!"

1. Find joy in the simple pleasures

found right at home, instead...

-Prepare home cooked meals

-Backyard BBQ's

-Indoor picnics

2. Enjoy time together with...

-Family Game Night

-Movie Night

-Spa Day

3. Stay connected with...

-Virtual meetings/ gatherings

-Drive by and wave parties/parades

-Text, calls, social media platforms

--------------------

Healthy practices

and lifestyle choices

-Wash your hands

and

WEAR YOUR MASK!

-Exercise and take control

of your eating habits

-Pray and meditate, 

and read your Bible

--------------------

Maintain Social

"Distancing"

(and tighten your circle)

because

now is a good time to practice

what you've always known...

Everyone doesn't warrant 

personal physical contact 

(or "access" to you)

Sorry, not sorry!
