CORONAVIRUS
Due to the health concerns associated with the novel Coronavirus, many measures have been put in place to keep our communities safe. Although necessary, these changes (e.g. closures of schools, restaurants, gyms, sporting events, quarantines, etc.) are understandably frightening to many of us. Things are changing from minute-to-minute, grocery store shelves are empty, and things can feel very out of control.
Here is what we DO know: stress, anxiety and worry will only make things worse. According to studies conducted at the American Psychological Association, the psychologists in the field of psychoneuroimmunology (study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body) have shown that state of mind affects one's state of health. So instead of focusing on the fear of the unknown, try to replace those thoughts with what you CAN do.
What Can You Do?
1) Practice Social Distancing: The CDC recommends avoiding crowded spaces and to stay within 6 feet of the people around. Try not to enter in large groups unless absolutely necessary. This will benefit you and your community.
2) Wash Your Hand and Don’t Touch Your Face: This is one of the easiest ways to stop the spread of germs to yourself and to others
3) Find New Routines: Routine creates predictability (something we do not have a lot of right now), and predictability can ease anxiety. If you are no longer attending work, or cannot engage in your daily routine due to the current changes, start structuring out your time.
4) Be Mindful of Others: If one of us is unhealthy, we are all at risk of being unhealthy. If you buy all the hand sanitizers, then the person next to you won’t have any and can continue to spread germs. This is our opportunity to think about others and how we can support others. One of the best ways to get out of our own stress is to help other people.
5) Be Mindful of Your Emotions: Start paying attention to the little cues that your body tells you to let you know that you are starting to become anxious or stressed. Does your breathing change? Do your muscles tighten? Do you feel suddenly feel the need to buy ALL the toilet paper? The first step towards calming anxiety is to identify when it starts.
6) Practice Self Care: Start making a list of little things that you can do when you do identify those anxiety cues. When you notice that you are starting to escalate in your anxiety, go to your Self-Care List and implement something.
Here is a Self-Care List example:
MIND
Read a book
Listen to "Learn Spanish" or other audiobooks
Meditate
Practice breathing techniques
Crossword puzzles
Puzzles
BODY
Stretch
Foam roll
Go for a walk or jog
Take advantage of at-home workouts like those created in the DNDY App
Focus on veggies and fruit - keep processed food to a minimum to the best of your ability
SOUL
Play the guitar
Journal
Call and video chat with friends and family
Make a daily gratitude list (find those silver linings)
To add additional support the best way we can during these trying times:
Behavioral & Mental Wellness Consulting will be offered at a 50% discount.
The DNDY APP will be available at a discount for those who need it.
We got this, one day, minute, even second at a time.
Stay Safe, Stay Sane, Stay Sanitized!
Warmly,

Success Stories
Chris' approach to fitness and weight loss is holistic, and not based on fads or one method for each individual. The benefit of this approach, is that it allows the user to cater Chris' techniques to his/her benefit, creating a sustainable change in diet and lifestyle. I recommend it to people all the time.

I've struggled with weight my whole life and a friend suggested that I talk to Chris because he did things differently. After loving the Strategy Session I ended up working with him for 6 months. All I can say is WOW! His program was really life changing for me. I lost weight in a healthy way and I'm still losing weight (or releasing fat as Chris would say), I learned to control my cravings, I figured out what foods were right for me and so much more. His "lifestyle first" approach really did change my whole lifestyle. I can't recommend him enough!
