1) Think about what you are grateful for, not what you have lost. Things could be much worse. Practice thinking about gratitude in the shower, at the dinner table, and by having helpful reminders around you to be grateful.

2) Move your body. This includes exercise, stretching, walking, or anything else that will increase your heart rate naturally. Physical stagnation is a formula for stress, and we have enough of that already.

3) Meditate. I’ve been doing this consistently for over a year, and the results have been profound. Start by sitting in a quiet place for just a few minutes a day and focus on your breathing. It’s ok to have thoughts during this time, it’s natural. Just keep returning your focus to your breathing in the present moment.

4) Reach out to people near and far with zoom meetings and FaceTime calls, especially those you have not connected with recently. The sense of connection it creates will not only make you feel happier, but it could also make someone else’s day special, and we all need that right now.

5) Watch or listen to motivational programs that will help you to stay optimistic and positive, so that when you come out of isolation, you are better, stronger, and happier. Human beings crave connection with others, and while it’s not feasible during the lockdown, you can simulate connection with others by watching seminars online that have been recorded in front of live audiences.

Waterford, Michigan based motivational seminar company Seminars On Demand is helping people stay optimistic and positive while sheltering-in-place by giving away 3 of their
online seminars to everyone for free.

The 3 free seminars feature Brian Tracy sharing keys to positive focus, Janine Driver covering the power of words, and Walter Bond on peak performance.

The free online seminars can be viewed at: SeminarsOnDemand.com/free

Motivational speaker and CEO of Seminars On Demand Michael Jeffreys is available for interviews, podcasts, and zoom meetings.
