Embrace the Suck – There is no doubt that the current situation sucks, however there are silver linings in all clouds (or at least that’s what my mom told me). You are going to overcome obstacles, be stronger at the other end of this, and experience an important event in history. Embrace it and your experience of it will be transformed.

Battle Buddy – We all need support from others right now. You know who your Battle Buddies are and finding ways to keep in touch with them is only limited by your imagination. The internet, social media, the phone, etc. can keep you connected to just about anyone. Reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. Organize a remote social event online, on the phone, or through a number of web conferencing platforms. Create a social media group in which people can commiserate.

Wave Off – Seriously, you don’t need to go anywhere right now. Assess your needs versus wants and Wave Off all requests which will prevent social distancing. Also Wave Off consuming too much news. Follow one or two reputable news sources and Wave Off the rest.

Left of Bang – We are all trying to stay Left of Bang, “bang” of course being a positive test for COVID-19. Follow the CDC recommendations to wash your hands often, avoid touching your face, and put distance between yourself and others to prevent the spread of the virus.

Improvise, Adapt and Overcome – If you weren’t able to buy any toilet paper, this may take on important meaning for you! As the situation goes longer, you will find yourself eating foods prepared with creative ingredients. Your work meetings, doctor appointments, church services and other events will be held virtually for awhile. Human ingenuity is an amazing thing, and we will get through this.
