Okay, so it has now been over a week since quarantine started, and i have come to realise how bored i can get without aiming towards a goal. After moping around, eating way too much chocolate, and playing pokemon platinum and on my nintendo switch, i have realised how much i hate chill time.
I love to work. Working towards a goal gets me on a high. After reflecting on this past week, i realise i must make some changes if i am going to cope in this new way of life. Exercise is so important. No matter how you do it, you must get out of the house and do some exercise, clear your mind and help your body.
I had to find a creative outlet. I really like to work on long term projects, because it keeps my mind distracted. Doing long dog walks, and courses online are exciting to me.
Is it difficult to stay away from other people? Absolutely. The world has become somewhat like the walking dead. If you see someone, they could be infected, stay away!
Podcasts have really made me stay sane in this time. I know I have already written about these, but it feels great, to be in on a conversation with other likeminded people, from the safety of your own home.
I can already feel the drawbacks of eating unhealthily. My stomach is bloated, and I need to go to the bathroom frequently. This is not the way you should be living during this time . Use this to get a healthy regimen going. Don’t sleep too much because your body does not need it. Moreover, stay awake long enough to keep on track with any commitments you may have; you never know when it will be important.
If you go to bed that night, and don’t think you have accomplished everything you wanted, get out of bed. We have time now, do it.
Get your shit together.
🙂
