Hi folks,
Gosh on a bicycle - that’s fantastic!
I think I have possibly had coronavirus but v mildly but my no. Stop coughing is preventing me going out and I can’t seem to tolerate any getting out of breath.
It’s a case of doing what we’re can at the moment. These aren’t usual circumstances and if you’re like most people you have extra stocks of food in the house. I have never been good with being trapped in, my husband has said I’m like a puppy I have always needed to get out and run around. For some of us this is a real challenge. Doesn’t help we have all my favourite foods and foods I tend to have limited stop buttons with too. So bread, bread rolls, baguettes, biscuits -my husband has brought the low (blame thrown there). Seriously at this point I think it’s working out a way of coping, staying safe.
I’ve noticed my routines with work have been all over the place. It hasn’t helped not being well and having kids about.
There are little things I’m letting myself off the hook for and other other things I’m implementing like I love exercise so finding something you enjoy. Trying to get in the garden if you have access. I think of you think “don’t eat” the first thing that happens is your feet start walking towards the fridge/bread bin (yes all by themselves!). Stressed, trapped in together, little energy - give yourselves a break (?) let’s focus on we can do, what’s positive.
Maybe a plan. Small things some ideas:
A walk in the sunshine - in the garden needs must it will be a short route!
A bubble bath
A read of something interesting
See if I can bribe the husband for a foot rub
A huge salad with lots of colours - I like rainbow salads
Something kind for someone else (I find myself innately trying to just cheer myself up -coffee, food usually)
Learn something - give it your absolute all and learn it thoroughly
Stay positive. This is a time to also identify what we find challenging. Food diaries?
