Does anyone know? Nope? Didn’t think so… Ok so the world isn’t as we know it currently. In the UK we are currently in our 3rd lockdown. A third time being told to “stay at home” and “work from home if you can” Now how that looks will differ from person to person. For me, I’m still working as usual as I am a key worker. I am one of the lucky ones to still have a job as I know many people who have been made redundant due to lack of funds, and being able to keep businesses afloat. I can’t even imagine that feeling having financial responsibilities and then to be told “sorry we can no longer afford to keep you on”
“Work from home if you can” – what a confusing statement. I know many people have turned their family home into their office, their place of work. I also know that for a lot of people this is very unsettling. We are creatures of routine and habits. We need structure. The get out of bed, have breakfast, get in the car, drive to work and attend that meeting; day in day out. For a lot of people this was taken from underneath them in the face of hours and this can take a toll dramatically. Guys, do me a favour… every morning when you wake up, look in the mirror when your putting your makeup on or brushing your teeth and tell yourself something positive; something to kick start your day in a positive way. I find getting fresh air in the morning always puts me in good stead for the day ahead, clear the mind from the night before and start your day the way you wish (fingers crossed 🤞 positive)
“Start your day the way you wish it to continue”
Me lol
Being at home more also means more temptation. The fridge or the sweet cupboard being within reaching distance. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not punish yourself for visiting this place of pleasure. As humans food and drink give us pleasure, we usually associate these things with being sociable, but that’s been taken from us yet again. I’m not saying to sit and gorge on sweets/crisps/chocolate (all the good things😂) but neither am I saying to avoid them… everything in moderation is healthy. (I’m still learning this don’t worry; you’re not alone)
My advise would be to plan your meals, sit down as a family. When I say family I mean whoever is in your household/bubble or if you live alone plan meals around maybe a walk or zoom call – we all seem to be experts of those these days😂
Try and keep positive, get out for some fresh air(weather permitting🙄) and keep in regular contact with your loved ones. We WILL get through this!
Journey to health and happiness
