Greetings

Good afternoon and Happy Sunday!

Well, week 3 of social distancing and isolation is in the books. I have to admit, this week was a bit tougher for me. I caught myself a few times this week feeling dismayed, fearful, and negative. I'm glad I recognized it and shifted it fairly quickly so it didn't infect other aspects of my life. I hope that you are having more good days than bad ones.  

Last week I came across a diagram on my Facebook feed that I found amazingly valuable. The diagram outlined 3 phases or states that people may find themselves in. The Fear Zone, the Learning Zone, and the Growth Zone. This was the inspiration for my blog post this week. I think it will be worth your time to check it out: Who Do I Choose To Be During COVID-19? 

On a personal note, Ben and I went kayaking at the Brown's Bridge Launch part of the Rocky Gorge Reservoir. He blew up our inflatable kayaks 2 weeks ago and was dying to get out on the water, but the weather was not quite warm enough. Well, Monday was a gorgeous day and we did it just in time before the Maryland Stay at Home order. We had great fun. I always love being out in nature. I've also spent some time this week gardening and landscaping!

A couple of things that I'm doing this week to help the ISSAPT community: 

• Tomorrow night, Monday, April 6th I'll be hosting an online Zoom call: Virtual Happy Hour and Wellness Q&A with Dr. Tamer Issa, PT, DPT
  • We will address any health and wellness concerns and hopefully have a little fun!
  • Register HERE- I hope you can join me!
• I will also be introducing a program Get Lean During Quarantine this week, so be on the lookout for that. 

I hope you and your family are doing well. Please reach out to me if you are in need of anything. 

Don't forget to check out the blog and ask yourself this question, "Who Do I Choose to Be During COVID-19?"

Be Well,

Tamer
