From Me To You...

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” - Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities Seems somewhat appropriate right now, doesn’t it?

I have sat in front of my computer for a few days now, thinking of what to write to you. I have a quote swimming in my brain, “The last 24 hours have been a heck of a year!” And that sums up our lives. Things are developing and moving so rapidly that it is hard to keep up.

As I write this our children are at home for the foreseeable future, and most of us are working from home. By the time you read this in a couple of weeks I anticipate the whole country will be on lockdown. The irony of my last article is not lost one me. When I said I welcomed change I did not mean this!

It is not all doom and gloom though. I see examples of people helping others, sharing resources, putting up their Christmas lights and taping pictures in their windows so that those taking a walk can see them. Posting encouraging

Estrella Publishing - Up The Hill magazine

words and funny memes for others to chuckle at.

Then there is the news. Ugh. I try not to pay too much attention to the sad statistics and instead focus on the positive ones. Let me share some with you. As of now there are...

89,918 confirmed survivors of this virus 95% of the confirmed cases are mild 2 drugs already in existence have been successful in treating patients 3 vaccines are in human trials in the US with other countries around the world conducting their own trials 0 new cases have been reported in Hubei province (the epicenter of Covid19) in 2 days The thing to remember is that this will have an end point and that we should try to calm the crazy hamster wheel running in circles in our brains.

“You can’t calm the storm... so stop trying. What you can do is calm yourself. The storm will pass.”

- Timber Hawkeye As strange as things seem today we will get back to normal, even if it is a new normal.

“Home isolation is not my preferred choice ... but it is a necessary one ...This is not a permanent state, this is a moment in time.” Gov. Gavin Newsom People will come out of this stronger, more connected and more grateful for the everyday things - going to a movie, visiting friends, travelling, attending school or college. While we are in this period I encourage you to be kind to each other, be kind to your family, and most importantly be kind to yourself.

On Our Cover

Preventing the spread of the Coronavirus is heavy on our minds these days. But Parents and grandparents, you need to know that another epidemic threatens the well-being and future of your kids. Early substance use by our youth is leading many of them to a lifetime of addiction struggle. Ninety percent of adults with a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) started using alcohol or drugs before they turned 18.

The Way Out West Coalition (WOW) wants to help you give your kids a fighting chance to do life well. Prevention is about delaying the age of first drug or alcohol use whether alcohol, tobacco or marijuana which are the most used substances among teens. Protecting our kids by getting in the way of early substance use is critical because the adolescent brain, until a person is in their early to mid-20s, is being hardwired for the future. Protecting the brain during this period of rapid growth and development is crucial to a person’s overall health and dramatically reduces the risk of developing a Substance Use Disorder later in life.

There are three risk factors that bear consideration: individual, environmental and genetic.

• Individual factors that put an adolescent at risk for future substance abuse are first time use, parent substance use, traumatic

4 Estrella Publishing - Up The Hill magazine

experiences (known as ACEs), and a lack of social connections.

• Environmental factors in the community include high drug access, poverty, and exposure to violence.

• Genetic factors account for about 50% of a person’s likelihood of developing a SUD. Now, we can’t change genetics, but we can help teens make good decisions about substance use by understanding their family history.

Prevention focuses on strengthening the protective factors for our kids to counterbalance the risks they face every day. Whether it’s alcohol, tobacco, marijuana or new dangers such as vaping, prescription and over the counter medication abuse it is important to act!

Here’s what you can do! First, speak plainly and clearly about your expectations of no alcohol, tobacco, or drug use. Our kids need to hear us speaking the truth firmly and with love. Next, help your kids find a passion to pursue such as sports, music, art or hobbies. Another thing you can do is to surround your teen with positive, affirming relationships that will help your child thrive and feel loved and protected. Finally, practice with your teen ways they can say “no” to drugs or alcohol.

Home School Help With our children at home you may be wondering how you can manage to keep them on track and be a teacher on top of all the other roles you currently have. As a parent who has homeschooled in the past I wanted to let you know what worked for me.

Get up!

I am not suggesting a 5am wake-up call, but they should get up and get going so that you are not nagging them to finish their work at dinnertime.

Set a schedule.

This will help all of you. Your children are used to routine at school and having that at home will create a new sense of normal. It will reassure them that even as their world has changed, this piece of it can be relied on.

Provide regular breaks.

Playtime is very important especially for young children. Mental breaks are just as important for the teenagers. Send them into the backyard to run around, give them some screen time. Yes I said it, let them watch a movie or play a game

Estrella Publishing - Up The Hill magazine

during school time. Just put a time limit on it so they get back to what they need to do.

Don’t forget exercise.

This is one you should do as a family. Go for a walk, play relay races in your backyard, crank up the tunes and have a dance party. It will release tension and maybe even work off some of those extra pounds we are sure to gain during our time spent at home.

Socialize with their friends.

Skype, Facetime, texting, multiplayer online games. These are just some of the ways your children can interact with others and this is important. It will give them a break from the isolation and reassure them that they are not the only ones going through this.

The most important thing to remember is that even though your kids will have work from their teachers, they are learning constantly. Whether it is building with leogs or playing with their siblings they are still learning. Go easy on them if they have a meltdown or don’t stay on track, this is not easy for them either.

A Simple Answer Recently I read a very interesting essay titled “An Interview with God.” The author is unknown, but I believe it could have been written by any of us.

“Come in, “God said. “So, you would like to interview me?” “If you have the time,” I said.

God smiled and said: “My time is eternity and is enough to do everything. What question do you have in mind to ask me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”

God answered: “That they get bored of being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they had never lived.”

that there are persons who love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings. To learn that a true friend is someone who knows everything about him or her and likes him or her anyway. To learn that is it not always enough that they be forgiven by others, but that they have to forgive themselves.”

I sat there a while enjoying the moment. I thanked God for the time and what God has done for my family. God replied, “Anytime. I’m here 24 hours a day. All you have to do is ask for me, and I’ll answer.”

Perhaps this is the message of Passover and Easter: God is reachable, all we have to do is extend our hand.

Submitted by Rabbi Irwin Wiener, D.D.

God took my hand and we were silent for a while, and then I asked: “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”

God replied with a smile: “To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is let themselves be loved. To learn that what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives, but whom they have in their lives. To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. All will be judged individually on their own merits, not a group. To learn that the rich person is not the one who has the most, but one who needs the least. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and that it takes many years to heal them. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.

Money Matters These are challenging times. Like everyone, you are concerned about keeping your family safe and healthy, and you’re doing your part to help protect your community from the effects of the coronavirus. And if you’re an investor, you must also address your financial situation. How should you respond to the current market volatility and recent declines in investment prices?

For one thing, try to avoid panicking. The market selloff may feel unsettling, but it appears to be driven as much, or more, by fear and panic than by economic or financial reality.

which may mean that the worst of the stock market pain has already been endured.

First, though, it seems likely that the investment world will finally calm down only when the health situation shows signs of containment – and this will inevitably happen, despite the grim reports we are seeing these days. We have the motivation, the will, the solidarity and the resources to defeat the coronavirus and its effects, despite the pain and trauma it is causing.

So, back to our original question: What should you do? Here are a few suggestions:

Remember why you’re investing. Given the market decline, you may be tempted to change Uncertainty is high, but there are reasons – solid, your investment strategy. But keep in mind objective reasons – that provide more confidence that your financial goals, such as a comfortable retirement, are longer-term than the shelf life in the longer-term outlook, suggesting that of the coronavirus. These goals, not today’s conditions still warrant an eventual rebound. headlines, should guide your decisions.

We will see a temporary disruption to the Re-evaluate your risk tolerance. If you’re having labor market, of course, along with a decline in a hard time coping with these losses, your economic activity, but households entered this portfolio may be positioned too aggressively period in generally good shape. Furthermore, for your risk tolerance. If so, you might want to housing market indicators were moving upward adjust your portfolio mix to include more fixedand the decline in mortgage rates could add more strength.

However, this would also interest rate cuts will support the economic affect your long-term growth potential. Look for rebound. In addition, while further volatility buying opportunities. Stocks are now at their and the potential for further weakness will likely most compelling values in more than a decade continue, the steep drops we’ve already seen – in other words, there are plenty of compelling indicate that the financial markets have “priced investments out there. You can find many highin” the likelihood of a short-term recession, quality investments at very good prices, so you may want to consider taking advantage of the opportunity.

These are trying times for all of us. But as an investor, you’ll help yourself greatly if you keep the situation in perspective, take a long-term view, evaluate your own risk tolerance and be receptive to new possibilities.

Business 411 When A Recession Comes, Don’t Stop Advertising.

There have been a number of studies going back nearly one century that point out the advantages of maintaining or even increasing ad budgets during a weaker economy. Those advertisers that maintained or grew their ad spending increased sales and market share during the recession and afterwards. As a popular adage says, “When times are good you should advertise. When times are bad you must advertise.”

There are several reasons to advertise during a slowdown.

• The “noise level” in a brand’s product category can drop when competitors cut back on their ad spend. It also allows for advertisers to re-position a brand or introduce a new product.

• Brands can project to consumers the image of corporate stability during challenging times.

• Studies have shown that direct mail adver-

tising such as community magazines, which can provide greater short-term sales growth, increases during a recession.

• When marketers cut back on their ad spending, the brand loses its “share of mind” with consumers, with the potential of losing current – and possibly future – sales. An increase in “share of voice” typically leads to in an increase in “share of market.” An increase in market share results, with an increase in profits.

Another strategy used by marketers is changing the ad message and using short-term price incentives to match the economic climate with consumers who are seeking a good deal. Some advertisers will offer interest-free loans, coupons or special promotions to boost sales and market share. When the economy bounces back, regular pricing can return. For some advertisers that don’t give cost incentives, they can change the ad message to being expensive but worth it. Another creative strategy is pointing out the value the brand provides.

Although the natural inclination for advertisers is to cut back on advertising during a recession, those brands that maintain their ad budget and/ or change their messaging can get a long-lasting boost in sales and market share.

Perhaps the best quote about advertising in a recession came from Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart. When asked, “What do you think about a recession?” he responded, “I thought about it and decided not to participate.”

Coronanxiety?

I’m sure that most of you know the basics about what you should be doing now to maintain your physical health: Get accurate updates and information from reputable sources such as the World Health Organization and the US Centers for Disease Control, frequently use hand sanitizer or wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water, seek medical attention if you develop any symptoms, etc. But you also need to take care of your emotional health. One important way to do that is to manage your anxiety and to reduce your stress. Here’s how I’m managing my own coronanxiety and how you can manage yours.

1. Focus on what you do know as opposed to what you don’t know Whenever you notice that your anxiety is leading you to contemplate “what-if” scenarios straight out of World War Z, resist taking the bait. Instead, focus on the facts. For example, while you don’t know if you’ll get the virus, you do know that the majority of people who get

16 Estrella Publishing - Up The Hill magazine

COVID-19 have symptoms that are minor and manageable.

2. Focus on what’s in your control as opposed what isn’t

When you feel overwhelmed by what’s going on, take a pause from whatever you’re doing, and shift your mind to thinking about what’s within your control. For example, if you’re in the supermarket, you can’t control whether the other shoppers have washed their hands, but you can put on gloves or use your elbow to open doors and clean your hands thoroughly as soon as you get home.

3. Focus on what you can do as opposed to what you can’t Whenever you feel powerless, focus on the actions you can take instead of those you cannot.

You know one thing all kids can and should do? Chores. Chores are good in times of stress because they allow you and your kids to take action and by doing so, counter your feelings of helplessness and powerlessness. Do your chores together whenever possible — for example, prepare a meal, wash the dog, start a vegetable or flower gardens — since this can enhance

April 2020

bonding at a time when feeling close and connected is so important.

4. Help yourself by helping others Whenever you feel paralyzed by difficult feelings, one way to get unstuck is to help other people who are in need. Check on a neighbor who lives alone, text a friend who works in a business that’s been hit hard by the pandemic, or call an elderly family member to say hello. Practicing kindness and helping others are great ways to reinforce your own feelings of agency and control, and they have the bonus of making you feel empowered and connected — important feelings that we could all use more of during these times of stress and potential social isolation.

5. Limit your news consumption The situation is changing and developing by the hour which is keeping many of us glued to the news or to social media. However, when the news is especially stressful, it’s extremely important to find a balance between keeping informed and not becoming overwhelmed.

Decide on specific times of day in which you will check the news, and check it only then.

In between, try to focus on doing normal life

Estrella Publishing - Up The Hill magazine

activities as much as possible. We need to give our minds and bodies as many opportunities as possible to de-stress and recover, which means taking breaks from all stress-inducing activities such as news consumption or conversations about the news.

6. Keep your perspective Right now it can be hard for any of us — psychologists included! — to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But this emergency situation will resolve eventually. We don’t know if it will be in weeks or in months, but humans are highly adaptable creatures and life will seem normal again soon.

World, we’re definitely being challenged right now. But we’re far from helpless. We can take control; we can take steps to actively manage our emotional health when we’re stressed or distressed; and we can communicate with our loved ones and stay connected to them. And once we do, we’ll emerge from this crisis having gained something of a great value, something that only true challenges can bestow — increased resilience, understanding and empathy.
