What small way might you increase your health this week? This day? This minute? Of course, what is healthy for you may not be healthy for everyone, but some things are considered pretty universally healthy. The challenge is having access to these things and support to have them in your life. How are you doing?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Check in about these things::<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">How much is your stress level having an effect on your well-being?Are you getting enough sleep?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Do you take time for regularly scheduled and healthy meals?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Can you find moments to breathe, journal, or meditate?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Are you drinking enough water?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Is there clear and regular communication with the people around you?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Is there time to move your body? Ergonomically wise movements for repetitive jobs, stretching when tight or sore, brief bursts of movement for sedentary workers, exercise.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If one or more of these is lacking, just know that healthy habits take time to form. Try to repeat your healthy action or new activity as many times per day or week as possible. Setting reminders on your phone may help you remember and act on your actions. Telling the people who care about you that you are attempting to incorporate a new healthy habit is a good way to get support and encouragement.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Like Anu said, If you want your farm to thrive into the future, make sure you are tending to yourself along the way.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One way to tend to yourself is to sign up for a <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/maine-farmer-resource-network\/farm-coaching-supporting-relationships-for-farm-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/maine-farmer-resource-network\/farm-coaching-supporting-relationships-for-farm-success\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1598629737027000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHLLTpEGvR5fBvunYe7t1sGtVqnJA\">farm coaching<\/a> session.

They are written by coaches from UMaine Extension\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/maine-farmer-resource-network\/farm-coaching-supporting-relationships-for-farm-success\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/extension.umaine.edu\/maine-farmer-resource-network\/farm-coaching-supporting-relationships-for-farm-success\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1596652622257000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGKOiuQUl_Kkt7-ZwhlekLhGos3cQ\">Farm Coaching<\/a> team. Farm Coaches are available at no cost to work remotely with farmers and farm families.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There are a plethora of ways that you can \u201chear\u201d from family, staff and customers. Right now is a great time to consider how, when, and through what channels you want to hear from each of your farm\u2019s different constituent groups. Thinking about methods of communication might help you reinforce or clarify some boundaries. During the current conditions, it is a great time to reset boundaries and expectations to both preserve your sanity and retain organization.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Letting each person or customer group know how and when you receive and reply to messages can provide clarity and ease during the busy season.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Here are some of the channels that you can choose from:<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Text Messaging<br \/>\nPros &#8211; It\u2019s quick! Texts are real-time responses with a written record of the decisions made.<br \/>\nCons &#8211; It may be easy to overlook communication if your \u201cchannels\u201d of family, staff and customers mingle in your texts. Short snippets of text may not convey your full meaning or may lead to miscommunication.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Email<br \/>\nPros &#8211; Can be great to document a conversation, particularly with customers. It may be helpful to set-up an \u201cout of office reply\u201d or footer in your email that explains your office hours and \/ or response time. You can also set-up responses to frequently asked questions in your drafts to use and re-use when answering common inquiries.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cons &#8211; It may take more commitment to designate a \u201cblock\u201d of time to read and respond to emails. Some users write emails like text messages. Sentence fragments and other short-hand may lead to a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Phone<br \/>\nPros &#8211; Best used for time-sensitive matters that can hold up decision-making. Also important if you need to hear a person\u2019s tone in a sensitive conversation (with a customer regarding pricing or an issue about a returned product, for example.)<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cons &#8211;\u00a0 It can be hard to dispense with pleasantries and get down to business. Also there is no written record, like email and texting, so taking notes is important if important decisions are made.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Social Media &amp; Direct Messages (DMs)<br \/>\nPros &#8211; These provide additional access for customers to connect and can offer ways for customers to \u201csee\u201d the farm and for you to share day-to-day activities.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cons &#8211;\u00a0 Managing social media communication in each platform can be both cumbersome and time-consuming. Consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/best\/best-social-media-management-tools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/best\/best-social-media-management-tools&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1596652622257000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGIiPsfNI_CuhjQblelqA0gyI5eOQ\">using a social media management tool<\/a> to streamline the process or delegating some of the responsibility to others at the farm.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With information flowing in and out of all of these channels, making sure the right people and records get updated is really where it all comes together. How do you record orders that come in via text or social media? What are the systems that support all of this communication? Capture the information into a good system that is easily accessed by your whole team.
