Some ideas:
- Do an online course. Laurie Santos has made her Harvard course The Science of Well-Being available for free on Coursera. Or take up a language, there are many free apps for this like Memrise or Duolingo.
- Follow an exercise routine. I started a GMB paid programme last year but never completed it but this might be the time to restart! I loved feeling stronger when I was doing it. The Guardian has a round-up of the best home work out websites - regardless of your level of fitness. PE with Joe on youtube has fun routines to do with the kiddies.
​- Reflect on the irony of human existence - THIS is the moment where staying home and watching TV is the best thing you can do for your country. On my watchlist are Outlander and House of Cards, let me know if you have any recommendations!

- Take the time to say one nice thing a day to each person in your household. It can be easy to be short-tempered with someone, especially when there is so much anxiety around our health, our finances and our future. I follow psychotherapist @sitwithwhit who offers great bite-sized practical advice on setting boundaries and keeping a balanced outlook on life.
- Journaling in all its forms, whether writing a diary, or making art, is very therapeutic.
- Watch the animals at Melbourne Zoo via live cam while you take a break from work. I'm also going to be posting short 1-minute videos for what you can do in your work breaks to keep active, so stay tuned.

The Covid-19 pandemic is unfolding very quickly, and after reviewing all the current information, I will still be taking appointments unless instructed otherwise by health authorities. 

To help everyone and their families young and old stay safe, I will not be treating if I feel unwell, and appreciate that you will do the same. 
 
If you have been overseas in the last 14 days or in contact with anyone who has tested positive for Covid-19 AND feeling unwell, please call the dedicated hotline 1800 675 398. Find out the latest updates from Victoria's Health and Human Services here.

In the meantime, there are plenty of things you can do to help flatten the curve, including
​- Social distancing. Perhaps it's time to pick up a new indoor hobby?
- Washing your hands with fancy soap
- Checking in on others (see below for a card you can print out)
​- Looking after your own health and immunity with lots of sleep, good food and some exercise
