Is it strange that this “Unprecedented time” is slowly becoming normal to me? I wake up whenever, and try to muster through some basic aims for the day.
I dislike working from home, and online learning has shown me that physical presence and real time engagement is very much important in teaching. During the first few weeks, I actively chastised myself for not using all of this extra time to do more writing, more work on my blog and more brand building. But I’ve come to the realisation of the truth as they say and since then, I’ve actively been practising not being too hard on myself. No one could have predicted the situation we are in and everyone is coping in a different way.
I’ve got behind some of the trends- some more helpful than others. I’ve joined TikTok and Houseparty, been baking and recreating meals from my favourite closed restaurants. I‘ve even bought my own nail drill and attempted my first at home diy infil. I think the most disturbing thing about all of this is the uncertainty of it all, there’s no way of guessing when things will go back to “normal” or even if we will ever know our previous way of life again. So I’m choosing to focus on the things I can control, namely myself. I am responsible for me, and my interactions. My piece of mind is paramount, especially as I am sometimes prone to anxiety. Times are hard, and if I come out of this still standing tall I will have done all I needed to do.
