Time Isn't Ticking

When it comes to health there is no time limit. Living healthy is a life long commitment. Because it is an ongoing journey it is easy to fall off track sometimes, lose motivation. The strongest ones are the people who keep going even when they take a little detour. Neghar Fonooni said, "Fitness is the health of your body, mind, and soul. Therefore your fittest self is not only physically fit, but mentally strong, confident, and loving towards itself and others."

Here are some tips I like to use when I feel like I've lost some of my motivation:




1. Try A New Exercise 

Exercising doesn't have to be going to the gym and doing cardio machines for an hour. Try yoga, take a bike ride along the coast, go for a hike, try stand up paddling, or even take your kids to a trampoline house and get your exercise in while they get rid of some energy. 

2. Take A Rest Day

Sometimes when all you've been doing is the same workouts your body gets used to it, you stop seeing results, and you wonder "whats the point?" Take a day to regroup and prepare an amped up workout. Sometimes your body needs some rest in order to get back on track, however don't let it turn into a rest week!

3. Find A New Recipe 

Look online or ask a friend for a new healthy, nutritious, and delicious recipe. Eating a beautiful healthy meal can fuel your body and get you back on track and motivated to continue with your healthy lifestyle. 

Always remember to listen to your body, fuel it properly, and be mindful. 

Namaste,
Amanda

Caution: Be "Uber" Safe

Are you already helping your local community by being an Uber driver, or looking to become one? Make sure you are covered on the road! Farmers now offers auto insurance for Uber drivers.

For those of you who don't know what Uber is, it is an app for your phone that will pick you up at any destination and take you wherever you need to be for a much cheaper ride than any taxi. Any one can become an Uber driver and make their own hours. With that in mind, don't forget to be aware when riding with Uber.  Farmers recently teamed with Uber for the Farmers Open and as of May 28th  we have created extended coverage specifically for drivers.

Farmers Rideshare

When you become a rideshare driver for a company such as Uber, your current auto insurance does not cover you as a rideshare driver. We at Farmers thank you for helping keep drunk drivers off the road and have made it possible to get the additional coverage you need at a low rate.

Coverage for Rideshare with Farmers

Without this additional coverage you only have minimal liability coverage. It is likely you would have to pay out of your own pocket for medical and repair expenses. However, with Rideshare coverage, additional liability comes with $50,000 in property damage, $50,000 in bodily injury coverage per person, and $100,000 per occurrence.

Cost $$$

This new program is very affordable. It only costs $6-$8 more per month! We can simply add it to our rating system Farmers Specialty Auto.

Please give us a call at 866-486-3276 or email me at gdomingo@farmersagent.com with any questions and/or concerns. We would love to help you get the coverage you need for helping us keep our streets safer.
