Anxiety and Stress Never Gets Us Anywhere
No one ever reacts the same, some are able to settle and continue, for others it is worse than climbing a mountain never reaching the peak. Entering into a whole new world, most of us have never had to endure staying home, finding ways to exercise not only body, but our mind as well.!
Each is unique in how they handle this sudden stop placed on life as we know it, I dislike shopping to me it is a chore, once weekly I go down and complete the task at hand and return, during this period nothing has changed except keeping even further distance from people (which I normally do). My other half loves walking down to the beach and back most days which is a round trip between 5 to 10 kilometers, talk about climbing walls, he is about to set new records!
What we do with our time to feel we accomplish something each day, plan daily to keep active.
Plan phone calls to chat with family living on their own, or clients you know sitting at home alone. Clear out excess, yes everyone tells you it is a good time to come clean out cupboards.
Gardening is always a wonderful place to escape for an hour or two, only have a balcony plan how or where to add a herb garden or small citrus tree, something different for non-gardeners.
Start planning for when business does return to normal, it may never be the same, some tweaks may be necessary grow, keep an eye on markets, or new ways to create a positive path forward.
Coming out from under the cloud, beautiful sunset presents end of day, something to enjoy reflecting on how the day went.
Moving to our new Hive platform has been a bit of a challenge, my "reliable" cellphone of 4 or 5 years just died, lost all my 2FA for Crypto sites presenting problems of their own, dust off start again, reset button, many things appear to have arrived on our doorstep unwelcome.
My excursions in the garden have been eventful in more ways than one, cooler weather, odd bit of rain, lower road noise levels and some stunning sunsets, we are alive and safer at home.
Neighbours children stuck at home playing football can raise noise levels somewhat, both are under ten years of age, a little girl who is exceptionally excitable (she is energetic, bright with good skills on the ball, slightly older brother is kept in check by strings of commands), really not a care in the world. Adults really need to take a leaf out of a child's book, (watch how they react in situations), excited greetings each time we are outdoors, makes the day more cheerful with beaming little faces peering over the wall.
Unable to set foot outside the perimeter of our home, it is still exciting and good to be outdoors with plenty to see and do when you look close enough. Winter is slowly starting to show with early morning dew on the lawn, butterflies from tiny to large are floating around in our garden of life as it is at this moment.
Worry or stress will not change tomorrow, take it easy, be kind to yourself. Rise as normal do some exercise after coffee has jolted some life into you, try continue with daily tasks, make a list if need be!
