“We WILL get through this together.” 

Releases You May Need

Here are a few to consider:

• Meditation. The coronavirus pandemic is impacting everyone in different ways, but stress and anxiety is a pretty universal effect. Whether or not you were already in the habit of taking some time regularly to meditate, the practice could be extra helpful for your mental health now and in the coming weeks and months.
• Getting in the Water. Whether it be in a pool, a bath, a hot tub or anything else you can find, being in the water can be incredibly soothing and release a bunch of tension.
• Movies. Allow yourself to get lost in some movies that you have wanted to see.
• Working Out. To me, there is nothing like a good sweat. When you are kicking the crap out of yourself, it’s hard to think about your balance sheet. During the most difficult of days of my company, in early 2009, I would arrive at my office at 5 a.m. and jump on the Stairmaster we had in the gym in our office. Every day I would set it to the highest level and sweat my ass off. Sometimes after my day, I would go to the 8:45 p.m. Bikram Yoga class at 83rd and 3rd in Manhattan. Ninety minutes. One hundred and five degrees. It was cathartic. Some of the best workouts I had were during the toughest times because my mind was completely elsewhere. Breaking a sweat every day was a huge release.
• Your Music Jam. Get some tunes and get lost in it every day.
• Friends and family. Use this time to reconnect with friends and family that you never seem to have time for. It’ll put a smile on everyone’s face.

To each his own – it doesn’t matter what it is just make sure you get them.
