How to use Adele's birthday picture as inspiration instead of frustration
During a time when many of us are stress eating or simply enjoying an extra glass of wine or scoop of ice cream to savor what we can these days, waking up to Adele's celebratory Instagram birthday picture and her shockingly smaller size might come as unwelcome news.
Press pause before body shaming yourself or anyone else -- Adele included -- during a pandemic.
If you're thinking "I can never do that," and Adele's story is bringing you more frustration than inspiration, hear this: It's OK to have had that ice cream or wine. And now it's OK to want to move more and feel better during a pandemic.
Adele lost weight, are we allowed to praise that?
There are small things that you can start doing right now that don't require chef-prepared food, expensive trainers or fancy fitness equipment. They do require a small commitment to yourself each day, and you're worth it.
Here are seven achievable things you can do to get moving -- and I love that these are incremental goals that can give you a sense of empowerment and lift your mood. Pick one to try each week. You'll find yourself feeling better and more in control of your life, and perhaps even celebrating yourself.
Open the door and take a walk
Opening the door is the first step. Even if you are superfit, you might find it hard to get moving these days. There's a lot of resistance even among people I know who are very committed to living a healthy life. You know you should, you know you can, but your body resists. I'm telling you, just DO IT. It will not only get your blood circulating; it will also help to clear your mind. Listening to your favorite music while walking can really elevate your mood and lift your spirits, too.
Make a walk a daily activity, even if it's just for 10 minutes. If you wish, you can increase it by five minutes each week. If you live in a busy city, try to do it when the streets are less crowded. And if you are living in an apartment and don't wish to go outside, try walking the halls or stairwells.
National Nurses Day 2020: How much money can nurses make?
Registered nurses are critical in the health care field, especially during times of crisis, which is why the frontline workers who risk their lives to help others can earn generous pay.
IN CORONAVIRUS FIGHT, NURSES WEIGH PRINCIPLES VS SAFETY
The median annual salary was $73,300 in 2019 while the hourly pay rate was $35.24, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Qualifications, experience and expertise play a role in a nurse’s earning potential, however, it is also a role where overtime is often available.
However, nurses in some areas of the country have been fighting for higher pay, especially during the current coronavirus crisis, with some are relying on overtime to make ends meet.
The job outlook for nurses is “much faster than average for all occupations,” with a predicted 12 percent increase by 2028, the Bureau of Labor Statistics says. Much of this growth can be attributed to the country emphasizing preventative care, increasing rates of chronic conditions and rising demand throughout various health and senior care facilities.

Location is also a major factor in how much a nurse can make. Rural areas tend not to offer pay that is as high as urban or suburban areas, but the lower cost of living oftentimes offset the wage difference.

Online job board Indeed compiled a list of the average salary for registered nurses by state based on internal data. Here is how much nurses can make:

Stimulus payments sent to dead people must be returned, IRS says
Washington (CNN)Federal stimulus payments sent to people who have died must be returned, the Internal Revenue Service said in new guidance released Wednesday.
In a rush to get stimulus payments out as fast as possible, some of the money was sent to people who had died but had filed taxes within the past two years -- even as millions continue to wait for their payments to arrive.
The IRS has to cross-check with another federal agency to get a list of the deceased.
It was previously unclear whether family members could keep the money, but the IRS now says the full payment must be returned, unless the deceased was married and filed tax returns jointly with a spouse who is still alive. In that case only the portion of the payment belonging to the deceased needs to be returned, the agency said. If the couple received $2,400, for example, $1,200 needs to be sent back.
If a check was received, it must be mailed back to the Treasury Department. If the check was cashed or the payment was directly deposited into the bank account, the IRS is asking people to send a personal check or money order. Further instructions were posted online by the IRS.
The IRS started by sending money to those who had already filed a 2018 or 2019 tax return. The IRS has sent more than 122 million payments, for a total of $207 billion, since April 11.
The agency also clarified on Wednesday that other people who may have received a payment but are ineligible, including those who are incarcerated, must also return the money.
Eligibility is largely based on income, and it excludes individuals earning more than $99,000, head of household filers with one child who earn more than $136,500, and married couples without children earning more than $198,000.
Families earning a little more may still be eligible if they have children. The phase-out limit depends on how many children they have. For a typical family of four, the amount is completely phased out for those with incomes exceeding $218,000.
Those who can be claimed as a dependent for tax purposes, like many college students, are also ineligible for the payments, as well as undocumented immigrants who don't have Social Security numbers.
Payments are worth up to $1,200 for individuals, and $2,400 for couples -- plus $500 per dependent.
