How do I stay sane during a pandemic?

Coronavirus.  It's all I have heard about for too long.  My business has taken a hit, for sure, but many others have it far worse than I (or is it me?). I now have much more time on my hands.  I have been trying to keep busy with things other than eating and facebook.  Those seem to be the things that call me most. 
This morning, while I was getting ready for the day, I decided to slow down my routine.  As I flossed, (okay, this is a little embarrassing to admit, but) I actually flossed between ALL of my teeth, even back behind my wisdom  teeth.    What?!?!?  LOL!  I slowed down.  I took the time to really get in there and do a thorough job.  
As I brushed my teeth, I took time to feel my teeth getting clean.  I noticed how much pressure I put on my teeth with my brush.  By the way, why isn't it called a teethbrush?  Oops, I digress.  I spent more time brushing, and enjoyed the experience of it.
I did the same while washing my face, moisturizing and putting on my face.  (That's an old expression, isn't it? ) I slowed everything down and enjoyed it.
As I ate my breakfast,  I actually sat down.  I don't always do that.  Wow, I'm confessing a lot today, aren't I?  And I chewed my food more thoroughly and tasted it more.  
I have no idea how much longer my routine took today, but today I have time.  Time to be mindful during the little things. 
​One thing I've learned in the past few years is that truly, your mind can only think about one thing at a time.  If you want a break from all the hype, focus on the little things in life.  Right now is when we have time to do that, so maybe... just maybe... we can get into a good habit of mindfulness that will keep us healthier.  A healthy mind is worth everything, and sometimes it's just the little things that make a big difference.
