These good questions help us focus on the fact that WELLNESS is more than just physical health. Wellness takes the big picture into account; it includes spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health.
Spiritually--I'm so glad that my Bible Study Fellowship class is still meeting every Tuesday morning. It gives me the opportunity to connect with my Christian sisters and take some time to focus on the Word which is the source of all truth.
Mentally--Since I love to read, I'm finding that I'm not feeling guilty for spending my quarantine time with my nose in a book! It's easy to relax when I read because I can set aside the present and connect with the story.
Emotionally--I'm connecting with family by phone/video as often as I can--probably more than I did when I was "really" busy. I have to admit it's been a challenge not to spend time with the four grandkids, especially Little M as he doesn't really understand.
Physically--I'm getting my 2+ mile walk in on most days; cooking healthy food (no eating out), taking vitamins and supplements and generally staying "oiled" up. Of course, we're under a mandatory shelter in place here in California. It's Day 18 of 48, but I know that these restrictions protect us which speaks to my physical health. Here's an interesting article that dives into the use of Nutraceuticals to Combat COVID 19. It's a balanced look from a blogger I follow who has a doctorate in pharmacy.
