I believe that your inner light reflects in all aspects of your life, personal and professional. I have felt the impacts of social distancing and will admit that sometimes, it gets to me. Once I recognized this, I decided to put the effort into protecting and improving my mental health. Here are my top 3 ideas on what you can do too:n n </div> n <div> n <br/> n </div> n <div> n </div> n <div style=””> n <b> n n 1. Establish a Routinen n </b> n </div> n <div style=””> n </div> n <div> n n Now that we’re spending more time at home, our natural breaks in the day are gone. This can be especially challenging for those who have to work remotely. I highly recommend establishing a schedule to try and incorporate healthy breaks in your daily life. Carve out time to eat and have a strict cut-off from work. An integral part of this is to stay active. This can be a quick 15-minute stretch or a brisk walk outside to clear your mind. n n </div> n <div> n <br/> n </div> n <div> n </div> n <div style=””> n <b> n n 2.
