Good advice. Glad he made number "1. Media Distancing". He should add, get off the internet at least a couple hours before going to sleep! If you want to read about snake forms, here's the first article ever in print about Ark Wong:

You should do more! Sorry, but I got busy and haven't read the article you shared. I've been in training more now so I can easily cope up with some physical & mental problems. I do Yoga and tai-chi every day.

Just like you, I've been doing more Yoga (and chi kung) every day, largely because right now I don't have the access to the places that I do big and/or fast forms.
