examples. Whatever it is, the target should be clear and reasonable in order to encourage maximum participation and low burnout. STAY ACCOUNTABLE Treat the challenge like you would a weekly book club. Set a time every week to meet via a video call to share wins and setbacks, discuss necessary changes to the challenge, plan for the next week’s challenge, and offer encouragement. If you really want to up the inspiration, determine a prize to be awarded to the person who actively participates the most. Just be sure you have a tangible way to record and share those results, like video evidence of the activity. A wellness challenge shared among friends and family is a great way to work on your physical or mental well-being and stay connected with loved ones when you aren’t able to visit them in person. That kind of consistent personal connection can be wellness in and of itself. How to Implement a Virtual Wellness Challenge THERS
Road trips are a quintessential part of American summers, and while the COVID-19 pandemic may change how we travel this season, there are still plenty of fun destinations you can travel to safely. Before you cruise to your next great adventure, consider these safety tips.
GET A CAR TUNEUP
You want to put your best wheels forward when you hit the road. Check your vehicle’s tire health and pressure, look for leaks or damage to the undercarriage of your vehicle, and ensure all safety equipment — such as seat belts and airbags — are in top condition. Consulting with a mechanic beforehand can alert you to possible red flags to monitor while you drive. In addition, pack a vehicle emergency kit including water, road flares, tire-changing tools, jumper cables, blankets, chargers, and a first-aid kit.
MONITOR COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS
While many states reopened on a limited basis this spring, there are still health concerns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. As you plan your road trip, monitor these precautions as part of your preparation. Do not travel if you are sick. Minimize contact with people outside of your household. Unless necessary, do not travel out of your home state. Look for destinations that are rural or will allow you to have limited contact with others. As always, wash your hands, avoid large crowds, and wear a mask when appropriate. Learn more about traveling during COVID-19 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at CDC.gov.
that come up. I want to not only advise and fight for our clients, but to also forge relationships with them so they know that if anything ever happens again, they will have someone in their corner.
I have a big appreciation for Lancaster and all that it has given my family and me. The memories and relationships that I have forged here will last a lifetime. In addition to working in the area, I still enjoy the outdoors of the area as an avid hunter and fisherman, and I also serve as the area chairman for our local Ducks Unlimited chapter, which raises money to protect North America’s wetlands and ensure future generations can enjoy the outdoors and our hunting heritage. Although Lancaster has had to overcome some recent tough obstacles, the strength of this community and the people in this area has shown through. That sense of community is what makes Lancaster great,
TAKE CARE OF DRIVER AND PASSENGER HEALTH
Ensure your safety and the safety of your passengers by adhering to a few key rules. Stop every few hours to stretch your legs to limit blood clot occurrences and to rest your body and eyes. Always wear sunscreen while in the car or outside, and before hopping in, use your elbow to test the heat of the seats. Always let your car cool down before getting in it or driving off, and never drive when you’re tired. Studies have shown that sleepy driving can be just as deadly as drunk driving! Regardless of how well you prepare for your road trip, an accident may happen. Call our team today if you experience an accident while on vacation. We’ve got your back!
and I am proud to be a part of it and to serve the needs of the people of that community. Without Lancaster, I wouldn’t be where I am today — literally — and for that, I will continue to serve it as best as I can. As always, Lancaster, Schiller & Hamilton will have your back.
