Mindset

Its very interesting to see how different people are dealing with this Virus!! Your mindset is everything. Seriously. Of course I am not saying to go crazy and not listen to the guidelines, but to be able to put everything in perspective is a good thing.

It really comes down to being scared of catching this virus and dying from it, or the virus killing someone we love. Yes....this is strong language but its necessary.

This is my mom in the picture about 5 day ago exercising on the balcony!! She's in her 80's and scared of course, but her mindset is extraordinary!!

I keep her informed about what is going on and listen more to the science rather than any news on TV!!! We work on keeping her immune system strong, working on her cardio to keep her lungs and heart strong( respiratory system is important ), she takes at least 20 min of Vit. D (SUN), everyday and keeps a good routine and a healthy eating regimen. My Dad is even walking up and down the stairs once a day!!!!

They take some supplements, they are organized and keep spirits high by listening to tunes from their times!!! I take food to their apartment every week, but my dad goes out with the mask and the gloves when they need things.

I feel that the older people are more patient than everybody else. Some people tell me that they are ready to die if they stay home another day......others are buying food for a year and feel like the world is going to end......others started to get depressed....others are becoming alcoholics...others are buying guns.....what are you doing????

Do you know that 80 yrs ago we were in the middle of the Second World War. Nobody had the luxuries that we have today. There was no internet, no one giving out free food, no companies deferring payments and so on!!

This is a situation that we have to deal with. Its not going away when everything opens, but its not going to kill everybody!! That's why, your mindset is important. Listen to the science, be smart. Please please please take care of your health more than ever!!!

Hopefully this will be a wake up call to many of us!!! In America, we are a very sick society and once we realize that and take the right measures to change our way of eating, believe me......we will be able to fight this very strong virus a little bit better.

Last but not least, the money issue!!! Hopefully we will realize that living paycheck to paycheck is not a good idea after all. Be smart, find different ways to accumulate wealth. Its never too late and if you look you will find so many ways!!!

With all this said, I am getting ready to have a virtual Happy Hour with my friends from the North Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce. My mindset is O.K. even though I am not training my clients, or working at the gym, or doing health coaching as much as I used to. It is what it is!!!!

Change your Mindset....its not the end of the world...get a routine going....stop eating crap......lose weight...get fit..watch funny movies....engage with family.....eat healthy and do what you can do survive and bring money to your home. It can be done!!!
