Clearly, what we are all going through is fearful and disturbing. More and more of us are getting anxious to step outside. Although we all want to get back to our routine work and activities, what we have to remember is that the rules and guidelines are in place to protect our lives. As we all start getting used to this new normal we must continue to protect ourselves and others.
These difficult times stir up so many emotions, from anxiety to depression to insomnia to many people. It is highly important to take care of mental well being as we sail through these difficult times
Here are couple things you can do-
Create New Routine- With new normal, start focussing on creating new routine, that might be early morning walks or yoga or streaching. Do something that sets your day on a right track
To do list- It is a blessing if you are able to work from home however it does come with its own challenges. Interruption & distractions are inevitable if you have young kids who needs you for everything. Try keeping a standard follow through list of activities for the day. Engage other family members if they are around. Ask for help when needed.Having a structured plan can make life a little easier
Create a space for yourself- Create a dedicated work space or a place to relax. It is easier to get consumed by work especially when working from home. Personally, what helps me is a dedicated space for work.
It not only keeps me focused when I am working, it also helps me be more organized.
It makes it that much easier to close my laptops and walk away when I am done working. And not carry my work around the house.
In the middle of everything that's going on, it's all about finding something positive amid coronavirus. Carve out time for family and friends. Host virtual dinner parties or game nights. After all stories do connect us.
Take care.
