I feel as if to feel this happy, I have somehow burned one of my own bridges or perhaps, made a deal with some unholy entity to secure my mindset for the foreseeable future.
It feels as if my whole life outlook has changed for the better (personally speaking), but I feel as if it has brought me away from the few humans I interact with.
While I don’t feel alone or lost, I do feel a little standoff-ish. But, I have no doubt that I will make more friends and life will continue as planned if not better in some way!
I love life, and I want to continue to feel that way so whatever I can do to feel that way, I will do.
When I titled this “Burning your own Bridges” I was not really sure what that mean’t, after pondering what that truly means. I’ve come to the conclusion that I have burnt various bridges on the way I used to look at things.
While I am no longer to look at life the same way, I feel it is heavily for the netter and will help me to grow in the long run.
Never be afraid to change for the better.

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
Social distancing (Personal Experience)
social distancing is sort of a mandatory thing for me (as well if your in one of the places on Lock down like California). I wish I could see more friends more often then I do now, but this time has allowed for me to be so so creative.
I have been very content with the growing want to stay inside for avoidance of the virus. The virus has personally not affected me as of yet but I wouldn’t be surprised if it soon did.
But I don’t personally believe this has to solely be a bad thing. Other then the creative aspect it has finely made way for me to do things like working out, which I had been putting off for a lack of time. But now that time is allot of all I have, It is more then getting its time to shine in my life.
I crave more then ever to leave my thoughts and that’s what running provides for me. But, what I have been doing does not stop there. I currently am obviously blogging as well as starting to make you tube videos, as well as maybe a podcast (if I can figure it out).
All in all social distancing may be a reset that is well needed.
