We have spent so many of our years busy being busy. We have been living that ‘treadmill’ life.
UK is now officially in lockdown.
We have been given an opportunity to come together as one, to save lives and save our NHS. At the same time, we have been given an opportunity to focus on being human, to breathe and to heal.
There is so much we can achieve during this lockdown period – trust this coming from a girl who has been confined to a room for 14 days!
Here are a few things that we can all focus on doing:
⁃ Spend time with those in our household
⁃ Connect with friends/family we may not have spoken to for a while, via text/phone call
⁃ Meditation
⁃ Prayer
⁃ Reading books
⁃ Do an online course
⁃ Learn a new language
⁃ Indoor workouts
⁃ Journal
⁃ Breathing exercises
⁃ Going on solo walks (currently UK is allowing for outdoor exercise once daily)
⁃ Cook together as family
⁃ Watching ‘feel-good’ movies/shows
⁃ Practice skin and hair care routines
⁃ Have games night with your household
⁃ Spend some time studying
⁃ Eat healthily
⁃ Practice gratitude daily verbally or in our journals; we have so much to be grateful for even in such crisis situations
⁃ Goal-setting
⁃ Limit our time online and increase our time offline
⁃ Go through our daily tasks at home slowly and mindfully; be present
Ultimately let’s use this lockdown period to focus on being human.
It’s time for us to enjoy our time at home. It’s time for us to be grateful for everything/everyone we have. It’s time for us to shower ourselves and others with love.
And guess what, we are saving lives and our healthcare system at the same time!
An Infinite Journey
