Covid-19 has well and truly stamped on 2020's mojo. It will forever be known as the year we had to write off. I'm fed up of being told to stay positive, stop over-reacting and calm down. I don't want to fxcking calm down. The world is upside down and jobs are being cut. I'm a lover of security, and right now there's none. Nobody can predict what will happen but we've all got to pay our part and stay inside, protect our loved ones and try and see the light through this.
I'm going to try and use this time to reconnect with myself, be kinder to my skin, what I'm eating, read more, write more and above all love more. We get so sucked into our daily lives, all work, no play. Maybe we need to listen to what we need (within reason and current permits) and react to it. Just stop, breathe and readjust.
Clean out those wardrobes you've been meaning to do for years, find out what's hiding under your bed - do some gardening. Pick up a book. Work on a small business idea you've had for a while but never had the courage to do. Check in on loved ones daily, these are lonely times above anything else and we need to be kinder to each other but respect each others choices during social distancing and isolation. Go for a walk but for petes sake don't all flood to the nearest beach and cause more panic than it's worth. Just go for a walk out of your front door, get some fresh air and come back inside. It's hard, it really is but if we do this we will correct what's wrong with the world and limit the spread.
My daily commitment to myself is to write a post - even if i'm the only audience. Whether it's what i'm reading - what i'm doing in the house - what i'm listening to. It doesn't matter, if it soothes the craziness going on inside my head it'll help and maybe i'll get through this. I've also created a daily positivity quotes page on instagram and that's massively helping me. Follow @2020positivity_ if you'd fancy more of this \/
I urge you all to stay as calm as you possible, but its okay if you can't at the minute but just know we're all here and going through the same thing so let's talk and stick together.
Take Care
