The challenge of social distancing is real, and I want to thank everyone making the selfless choice to stay home. Your sacrifices matter.
I’m with you—virtually. Hunkered down and keeping my distance, while staying connected online.
Having already worked from home before the pandemic, I consider myself fortunate. Still, I understand how dramatic this shift is for those now turning dining tables into desks and living rooms into classrooms.
Like many parents, I learned today that my son’s school year is over—no ring dance, no spring track, and no more in-person college prep classes. Those losses sting, but his health is the priority.
Homes across the country are now doubling as schools, offices, gyms, and cafeterias. It’s a lot to manage.
This post is a gentle self-care reminder: carve out small moments for yourself each day, even something as basic as taking a proper lunch break. Small habits add up to a big difference.
It’s not selfish to refill your own cup so you can pour into others.
Self-care isn’t a luxury — it’s essential. Staying home and protecting the community is both responsible and selfless, but it can make maintaining healthy habits harder.
Here’s a concise guide to healthy eating while working from home — short and realistic so it fits on your kitchen-table-turned-desk.
5 everyday eating habits to stay healthy while at home
1. Stay home and prepare meals at home whenever possible.
2. Choose wholesome ingredients and simple, healthy recipes.
3. Wipe down tables and surfaces before eating.
4. Contain the chaos by eating meals in the kitchen or a designated area.
5. Wash your hands before and after meals.
