Stay Connected
Although we’re all social distancing physically, as humans we need to stay connected emotionally. Try one or two of these out every day:
- Call a friend or relative you haven’t spoken to in a while to check in.
- Write a letter
- Facetime
- Support a local restaurant - Many restaurants are still open for take-out or delivery orders. Support your favorite joints and order food for pick-up or try out DoorDash or UberEATS and have it delivered. Join the Lodi Take Out Menus and Offers group on Facebook.
- Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories, including social media. Hearing about the pandemic repeatedly can be upsetting.
- Take care of your body. Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate. Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals, exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep. Make time to unwind.
- Connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling.
For the Kids:
- Hold a virtual play date through Facetime
- Teach a young person how to write and send a letter
