Restaurants are enticing us with open-air seating. Barber shops can schedule the grooming your hair so desperately needs. Offices are starting to welcome back employees.<\/p>\n<p>But after three months of physical distancing due to COVID-19, many of us have been left wondering, what do we do now? Where do we go \u2014 literally and figuratively \u2014 from here?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important we balance the need to get back to some kind of normal life and keep the economy healthy with keeping everyone as safe as possible,\u201d says Deborah German, vice president for health affairs and founding dean of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/college\/medicine\/\">UCF College of Medicine<\/a>. \u201cCOVID-19 hasn\u2019t gone away. It\u2019s still out there so we need to be smart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Katherine Daly, a licensed psychologist with more than a decade of counseling experience who serves as the director of Counseling &amp; Wellness Services at the UCF College of Medicine, offers some suggestions for navigating life again.<\/p>\n<div><strong>Take a gradual approach<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt probably would not be healthy to abruptly rush back into our pre-COVID life expecting it to look like the way it did,\u201d says Daly.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to adhering to the CDC\u2019s recommended guidelines for venturing out in public, which includes wearing a mask and physical distancing, Daly also recommends doing self-assessments of your comfort level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI try to continually assess how does it feel going out?\u201d she says. \u201cIf it feels stressful, then my world doesn\u2019t need to be so big right now. My world can include those who make me feel safe and grounded.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI try to continually assess how does it feel going out? If it feels stressful, then my world doesn\u2019t need to be so big right now.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She also recommends having open and honest conversations with friends and family members to establish boundaries you feel comfortable with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake it focused on how you\u2019re feeling and your vulnerability and what you need,\u201d she says. \u201cIn my case, I am more cautious because I have some conditions that put me a higher risk. I\u2019ve had friends who are much more comfortable going to restaurants or beaches, and they\u2019ll say to me, \u2018We want to let you know what we\u2019re doing so you can make an informed decision on if you want to see us.\u2019 They know it\u2019s not about being judged. It\u2019s about people who care about each other feeling safe enough to communicate vulnerability.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><strong>Maintain healthy routines<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>Daly says having a routine can help you regain a sense of control. Prioritizing sleep, nutrition and exercise should remain part of your daily life regardless if you\u2019re still working remotely or returning to the office.<\/p>\n<p>As more of us start to return to on-site work spaces, she stresses that having realistic expectations about your work routine will help you readjust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou may be used to rushing in and immediately hit the ground running and have a really productive work day,\u201d she says. \u201cBut the first week back, you might need to ease in. You\u2019re going to re-establish setting up your office, what it feels like to interact with your colleagues wearing a mask.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would encourage people not to expect too much of themselves and to allow themselves to readjust and re-establish those work routines so that work does feel safe again, and so people can establish some new boundaries of how to be healthy both mentally and physically in the workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><strong>Adopt these 5 practices <\/strong><\/div>\n<p>German emphasizes that staying safe in the era of COVID-19 comes down to dedicating yourself to do five simple things: Wear a mask anytime you leave home. Keep a safe distance between yourself and others. Wash or sanitize your hands frequently. Don\u2019t touch your face. Stay home when you\u2019re sick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all have to do these things,\u201d she says. \u201cIf only 50 percent of us take these precautions, the virus will continue to spread. We have to approach this as a team sport. By taking precautions, you protect yourself, your family, your friends and your community.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><strong>Don\u2019t be in such a rush to get back to normal that you don\u2019t consider what aspects of normal might be better left behind.<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe will re-establish a sense of normalcy \u2014 it\u2019s what we do as humans,\u201d Daly says. \u201cWe\u2019re highly resilient. We\u2019ve seen our ancestors do that through various struggles throughout time whether its war or natural disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Daly also says that it\u2019s important to evaluate some aspects of our former daily lives that might not need to be part of our future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe impact that all of this has had on the environment \u2014 did we need to be in the office every day? Did we need to be driving cars every day? Did we need to be heating and cooling all of those buildings every day?\u201d she says. \u201cMaybe those aren\u2019t things we need to rush back to. But there are certainly aspects of human connection that I think all of us are missing that we will probably embrace more dearly after this.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cStay calm. Stay grounded. Do your best to stay well.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div><strong>Use resources to manage stress.<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>Daly says it\u2019s possible we may experience a year or two of residual stress from this pandemic. One thing that cannot be emphasized enough is protecting your mental health.<\/p>\n<p>She suggests the websites Calm and Headspace for meditation and mindfulness exercises. Therapeutic literature, such as <em>The Relaxation &amp; Stress Workbook<\/em>, can also be helpful.<\/p>\n<p>For faculty and staff at UCF, she encourages them to take advantage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/hr.ucf.edu\/current-employees\/employee-assistance-programs\/\">Employee Assistance Program<\/a>, which offers counseling sessions for free.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStay calm. Stay grounded. Do your best to stay well,\u201d Daly says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Florida and rest of the country start to reopen for business, UCF experts offer tips for
