Episode 43: Finding A New Routine (Coronavirus Edition)

Welcome back to the newly renamed Down To Earth PCOS Nutrition Podcast! Today’s episode addresses the anxieties and fears you may be having amidst the current healthcare crisis and coronavirus pandemic.

The Coronavirus has a dramatic impact on all of us and our daily lives. It’s easy to feel scared by the unknown. I share with you some advice and tips for overcoming a doom-and-gloom mindset. You’ll learn how to use this time to continue maintaining your progress and moving forward. 

Therefore, rather than focusing on what you can’t control during this time, I encourage you to shift your energy right now. Instead of throwing all your healthy intentions away, try to focus on how you can continue to practice healthy choices. 

I warn against the dangers of the limiting beliefs we might be experiencing. I go into explaining that the best way to counter these is with 3 simple words: “But I can.” I explain how these words can help trick the brain into practicing creative problem-solving and motivate you into taking action.

In addition, I also recommend establishing a new routine. Establishing a new routine can be a powerful way to keep you focused on your goals. Moreover, a routine will also help prevent you from slipping into bad health habits.

Ultimately, I lay out 3 steps you can take to create a new routine for yourself. Each step is centered around healthy eating and self-care. These include:

  1. Identify 3 non-negotiable healthy habits that will help you to feel good right now

  2. Commit to taking 10 minutes each evening for the next few weeks to plan your next day and schedule these non-negotiables into your calendar

  3. Practice accountability by checking in daily or weekly to report progress and brainstorm ideas to overcome obstacles

There will be an end to the current chaos in the world, and by establishing a new healthy routine and actively managing our mindsets, we can get through this difficult time of dealing with the coronavirus and ultimately come out stronger and more empowered.
