We’ve all had to make adjustments this year with COVID-19 gripping almost every area of our lives. Celebrities and public figures are no different- which is why we asked them how they’ve adapted, what’s inspired them during this difficult time, and how they make time for themselves.
HFR founder Samir Becic adds “It is immensely important that Texans stay physically fit during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
We hope that these positive tips and routines will make our readers feel less alone during these trying times and maybe even find some inspiration in adopting some of these COVID-19 healthy daily habits!
How are you staying physically active in the age of COVID-19?
Nate Griffin: Walking during the heat of the day really helps…and then there’s golf, yard work, and a small trampoline routine that helps me maintain my balance.
Being the voice of information and news during a pandemic creates new and unforeseen obstacles- what are some of the challenges that you’ve successfully adapted to/overcome?
Nate Griffin: People depend on the information that we provide to make critical decisions daily. It’s important for us to get it right, or be as factual as possible. And during Covid-19, the information is very fluid which means constant change. Therefore, taking a slight pause before releasing that information has its benefits.
How has your job changed in the past few months?
Nate Griffin: My job has changed in regards to where I broadcast Sports News. I am doing it from home. That has forced us to take a closer look at how we can connect with the many and different communities in our area. There are so many good stories to cover and we are doing our best to get to as many as humanly possible.

How are you managing your stress during this time?
Nate Griffin: Managing stress is not that difficult. Managing TIME is more of an issue because we working from home, spending more time at home, which means we’re probably working more at home than in the actual workplace. Getting the work done is all in the details and that is where I am working to get better.
A bit of positivity: have you seen an act of kindness or generosity during this difficult time that has moved you or inspired you?
Nate Griffin: Positivity? I have seen plenty in that I believe people are showing more compassion for others in the daily routine of living. In regards to social justice, we are quite a ways from where we need to be and it will take some time to get there. But, if we continue working, building hope, and faith thru good deeds, we have a chance to become a much better and more caring society.

What do you most look forward to doing again after restrictions are lifted?
Nate Griffin: I am going to visit every restaurant, athletic facility, church, and people that were missed due to Covid-19. This moment in time has given me an opportunity to reflect and appreciate, even more, the gifts with which we have been blessed. We should never take them for granted.
What was the best part of working from home?
Nate Griffin: I have enjoyed working from home. Had no idea it would be as enjoyable. But with the help of my colleagues, we have made it a great experience. I hope that the viewers have enjoyed the experience as much as we have sharing Sports & News with them every day.
