Activity is important for both your physical and mental well-being. During the fall, make the most of nice weather and consider activities like walking and biking. When you do go inside, non-contact activities such as running, bodyweight workout routines and online fitness classes make it simple to maintain proper social distancing. If you prefer exercising with others, look for smaller fitness studios and classes that allow for the 2-metre spacing between participants. And if you use any equipment in a gym, be sure to thoroughly clean and disinfect it before and after use, even if you are the only one using it.

For many seniors, living alone may directly affect how often they engage in social activities. Social interactions often decrease as we age, which is why it is important to be involved in social activities as often as possible.

If you are finding yourself lonely, while living on your own, you may want to connect with others by joining groups; such as, volunteering with organizations including a local senior centre. Another solution is to consider moving to a seniors’ residence which is ideally suited to create many opportunities for social interaction and fun on a daily basis.

Waiting is essential, required and can’t be rushed. A spiritual practice that involves knowing when to pause and stay open and when to move and take action. Honouring and trusting the mystery of life’s timing. Patiently awaiting is one of the more difficult things we have to learn in a human body. In a world that never stops, practicing the fine art of slowing down and tuning in invites a deep inner knowing and wisdom that can only be revealed rather than forced. There is a sacred timing once we unhook from the mind’s chatter, learning to differentiate our instincts from our fear awaiting an inner green light to reveal a clear yes or no. Trusting the answer will unfold at the perfect timing instead of the one we have pressured ourselves to create and re-enforce.
