Food for thought…

Most of the information circling around the world at the

moment is very confusing coming from both the media and

government. In this trying time, lets us try to remember, that

as much as we are practising social distancing, and

considering medically what has been agreed upon is the fact

that our immune systems are the biggest factor between life

and death.

With that being said, what we should also take into

consideration is that stress lowers our immune systems

significantly… So regardless of practising social distancing

and washing our hands and sanitizing, we should also

remember the emotional stress that we are circulating

between ourselves and others.

YES! Those messages that you are sending to your family and

friends, thinking it is helpful triggers anxiety and panic.

Without you even knowing it, you are robbing them of one of

the few chances that they have to allow their bodies to defend

itself. So think before you text.

Lets practice stress distancing and instead of inducing the

anxiety and panic levels of our loved ones, lets give them

messages of love and hope. Let them smile and laugh during

this pandemic! Together we can beat this virus.

Stay Safe… Stay Clean
