We are in uncharted waters here, and the stress is HIGH! The goal of this episode is to spread some positivity during this pandemic but also to keep it real. It is an extra-long episode, so you may need to listen in chunks. But make sure you follow through to the end where Kim and Laurie give some much needed perspective. Anxiety, food, relationships, devices, exercise, and things to entertain us are all discussed. Even when social distancing, we are all in this together!
Intro
[01:30] Managing stress and anxiety. (“CALM”)
Celebrate God’s goodness
Ask God for help
Leave your concerns with him
Meditate on good things
[15:45] Food: Healthy foods to stock up on while in quarantine mode. Some good non-meat protein sources since some stores have been selling out. Sugar is more addictive than cocaine and every time you consume excess sugar, your white blood cells’ ability to ward off this virus is lowered for several hours.
[28:50] Reference back to episode #4 Jan 22, 2019 Boosting Immunity.
[29:55] Relationships: The impact of this quarantine so far in Laurie and Kim’s households and ways you can stay connected yet carve out some alone time.
[42:50] Devices: The beauty of technology and what that has meant for the children, schools and businesses. Also great to stay in touch with family and friends.
[52:00] Exercise: Importance of movement for immunity. Lots of streaming options! Also GET OUTSIDE!
[58:00] TV: Recommendations for series to watch and some fun programs, too.
[1:06:10] Good reads: Book recommendations (self-help, fiction, spiritual) — Some offer really important insight right now on loss and joy. (scribd.com is offering a 30-day free trial to download/read any book… no strings attached.)
[01:18:30] Podcasts: Some listening recommendations for other shows
[01:20:35] Ending on a positive note: Laurie’s thoughts on some good things that will come out of this time.
