You can’t avoid it….

Turn on the TV, listen to the radio, scroll through social media or check your email and news about the coronavirus (COVID-19) is there. It’s in your face and probably stirring up fear, anxiety, and stress. 

But, you don’t need to become a victim to the panic sweeping our nation. 

Here’s how you can stay calm and keep perspective during this unprecedented worldwide event. How can you stay sane during a pandemic? 

Focus on what you CAN control

We don’t know who has the virus. We don’t know where it will spread. But we can:

• wash our hands properly
• get enough sleep
• eat a healthy diet
• exercise and practice meditation and other relaxation methods like yoga
• be thoughtful about not sharing our germs with others – practice social distancing

Don’t Believe Everything You Hear

We live in a time where there is too much information, not too little. Believe it or not, everything shared on the Internet isn’t true. Before you believe a news story or an email that was forwarded to you from your favorite aunt do these things:

• Check the facts. Who created the information being shared? 
• Why was the information shared in the way it was shared? 
• Don’t share information until you know the truth.

How to Cope

We can’t control the world around us BUT we can control our responses. This pandemic is scary, especially for older people with pre-existing health conditions. 

But it is a temporary situation, it will pass. 

I once heard our pastor say, “When I get hysterical, I get historical.”  This is simply a way to remind ourselves that God has always guided us through past adversities. Looking back at our lives, we can all recall past challenges that at the time seemed hopeless and uncertain. However, God somehow was always been there on the other side pulling us through. 

If God was there through all those other situations in our past, then why wouldn’t He be here now? 

I am certain He will be there to make a way for us, despite the health and economic ramifications we are facing with the Coronavirus.  Just have faith and seek Him through the smoke and haze. Faith is when we believe God can do anything, and hope He does.  

I don’t know what the purpose or silver lining will be after this is all behind us. Maybe it will be the technological advancements in medicine that surely will be realized. Perhaps, it will be the unity that this battle will cause as a nation and across the globe. Or, it could be the realization that family and friendships are truly the heartbeats of life. 

It is my belief that the uncertainty we all currently feel will be replaced by victory in the hands of God. 

Embrace this time to slow down. Take a break from the non-stop, always-on speed of life. Take a walk on the beach (just separate by six feet). Read a book. Listen to your favorite music. Focus on the most important things – faith, family, and friends.

We will continue to do all we can to help our community in need. Whether you are a current practice member or not, please reach out to us if we can help you in any way.

I could go on for a long time on how great this place is but I will sum it up to a few points: Inlet Physical Medicine is easily the best doctors office I have ever been to, Dr. Cohen is world class when it comes to being a great doctor, you can tell how knowledgeable and passionate he is about what he does from the first time you meet him.

I have been to many doctors in my life, and Dr. Cohen is THE most patient, thorough one I’ve ever been to. He will get to the bottom of the issue and then stick with it until it’s better. Can not recommend him enough!

Without a doubt one of the best chiropractors I’ve ever used. Very professional and thoroughly examines and listens to you. You not only are a patient you become family. The only doctor to actually figure out why I was hurting and took the time to help me and NOT try to ‘pill me up’.
