At the beginning of lockdown I wrote a post on my goals and methods of surviving this uncertain time but I thought I would ask some others how they cope and are getting through this period. I appreciate that lockdown is slowly being lifted but I think this time has allowed us all to consider the things we are grateful for and that make us feel better so yes these tips are relevant to us all throughout our busy lives when they eventually resume as normal. Maybe you’ve decided to take up something and want to carry it on, maybe you’ve changed certain aspects and cut out toxicity or maybe you’ve learnt how to slow down; whatever it may be please don’t forget about this period of your lives, think of it as a learning experience! As you will notice there are a few tips repeated. So here I present you with the words of some of my fellow instagrammers. I have added a few comments in blue italics 😉 Grace Fleming @race.with.grace

I am so glad that I have found some fellow ‘solo dance party’ lovers. As many of my closest friends know, if I am feeling down in any kind of way I cheer myself up with a big old boogie in my room! I 100% agree with Sophie about bedtimes! At university my sleep schedule was all over the place, in fact I didn’t really have one at all. It feels so good to finally get back to my normal schedule, I’m an early riser and go to bed pretty early but this is what works for me and always has done. Maintaining a healthy sleep schedule makes sure you are feeling good for the day and gives the week structure (this could be whole a new blog post.) Jack Penfold @jackpenfoldrunning

It is so important not to pressurise yourself into achieving every single thing on your to-do list. Take it in manageable steps and if you don’t get it all done PLEASE DO NOT STRESS YOURSELF OUT! Easier said than done I know but during this time it is so so important to look after not only your physical health but also your mental health. Zara @aspoonofpeanutbutter

I really agree with the different forms of meditation from Zara. During this time and in the busy-ness of our normal lives we need to make time to relax and clear our minds as well as be aware of our thoughts and body as a whole! Thanks to all those who were willing to share their thoughts/tips for lockdown. This is a little bit of a lighter post before next weeks slightly more heavy post but will be such an important one in my opinion.
Takeaway thought: remember what you’ve learnt during quarantine, carry the positivity and creativity into your normal busy life and if this time has been a battle for you – you are becoming so much stronger – keep going, you’ve got this! We’ve all got this! Immie <3
