Now the rules above are from the article provided, But I will be discussing them and hopefully changing them to adjust my (and maybe your) life in quarantine.

1.Social distancing does not mean emotional distancing; use technology to connect widely.

This rule is so important and useful, while in this time of staying couped up and rather stagnate in terms of physical moment. it is so important to talk to family and friends as much as possible, But also understand not to overdue it

Clear routines and schedule, seven days a week, at home—don’t go overboard;

This tip shouldn’t be just a tip, it should be apart of a rule-set. This essential to this homebody way of life. It helps you keep sane when it can be all to easy to go insane

Exercise and physical activity, daily if possible;

This one should honestly Just become a daily ritual for all. I love working out, But it very well isn’t for everyone. I do believe even little physical activity is better then nothing.

Positive family time—working to counter negativity;

For this one I have found that I have been relaxing with family far more then I usually would. I love my family but have bot always been the most family bound person, recently that has changed. I believe that this is a cornerstone of staying sane. Even if you aren’t around family, being around people in general but not all the time. Like professor oak says, theirs a time and place for everything.

Learning and intellectual engagement—books, reading, limited internet;

This one, ill be honest. Is not a very big strong suit for me aha. I do try to learn a good bit of things and I have made a conscious effort of trying and learning more. It is hard to learn a skill but, if you can. It is definitely worth it.

Alone time, outside if possible, but inside too; but remember, don’t isolate;

This one has just kinda been my lifestyle in life. I wish this was an easy thing for all of us to do, but sadly it is not and for some it is easy and, for some staying alone drives them stir crazy. Either way I think we will all be OK without a doubt.

I’m choosing to end this with #6 for various reasons, I have realized that not everything on this list needs my take on it. But remember

No perfect man wears armor

so maybe not all of these tips will be useful but hopefully some will go up in your brain
