As we navigate the rapidly changing conditions we find ourselves in as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, it’s important that each of us act with prudence—but also with purpose.

These last few weeks have stirred up a lot of emotions. That’s understandable, but how we handle them is what’s most important. When our emotions are running high, we must remind ourselves to stay collected and patient with ourselves and others. It’s perfectly fine to feel upset during uncertain times.

Many studies indicate that stress management is associated with a wide variety of health benefits. It’s never too late to begin practicing positive thinking.

What’s on your bucket list for 2020? If you’ve included trying something new, you’re in good company—and on track for successful aging!
