Attention all Frontline Heroes...
Created with gratitude, especially for the First Responder Community for your extraordinary efforts during the Pandemic, We are pleased to present Reboot Academy US.
🇺🇸 www.rebootacademy.us 🇺🇸
Regardless of the role, First Responders are exceptional individuals dedicated to helping others in these tumultuous times, therefore it is important to take a proactive approach to create healthy habits to protect yourselves from the negative effects that chronic operational stress can cause.
This comprehensive program provides valuable information and tools to practice in the privacy of your home, car, or anywhere else you need to relax, rewind and REBOOT! New content will be added weekly to the Website, UTube Channel, and Facebook including meditations, exercises, and information to calm and keep them and their families healthy!
We can’t thank our Frontline Heroes enough for all you do in our communities and we trust that this small token of our appreciation will provide comfort and care to those of you who dedicate your lives to care for all of us!

Tips for conquering loneliness from Harvard Health Publishing -
So what can you do to prevent loneliness and help a loved one? Although we do not have enough data to identify the most effective loneliness interventions, the following principles may help guide you and your loved ones and should be used daily:
• Connect meaningfully with family and friends. Although technology can help foster connections, it is imperfect: social media, for example, has actually been linked to increasing loneliness. Connect in a way that works best for you: whether by phone, via video chat, through a mobile application, or even by talking with your neighbors across the fence or in a park.
• Be thankful. Loneliness can lead people to focus on themselves and their hardships. Aim to express appreciation toward friends, family, and strangers.
• Focus on what you can change. Spending time dwelling on your current situation can perpetuate loneliness; rather, focus your attention on something within your control and work at it.
• Enjoy being busy. Complete a chore, spend time writing, find a new hobby, or just allow yourself to delve into a new activity. Let your creativity shine!
• Remove negativity. Surround yourself with people and activities that bring you joy. Consider taking a break from the news, or at least limiting your consumption.
• Data suggest that just the act of smiling can make you feel better.
• Be kind, understanding, and patient. Work on treating yourself and others with compassion. Engaging in pleasurable interactions can also help those around you, and may result in deeper connections.
• Develop a routine that provides balance and familiarity. Create a daily plan that includes physical activity, time for connecting with loved ones, a project or hobby, and a relaxing pleasure.
