LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.

As the days of hibernation drag on during this COVID-19 pandemic and we find the world a bit more of a scarier place, our mind can start acting out its own scenarios and that in itself can be a scary place. Waking up and for the life of you, you can’t work out what day it is so do you turn over or do you get up and get going? Well, get going has to be the norm until the world rights itself and weekends don’t feel like weekdays and weekdays don’t feel like…well a drag really.

It appears, and I could be wrong, that the ‘working from home’ workforce don’t really seem to need to know what day it is, they just need to know the deadline date. Since the advent of the internet and mobile telephones it seems the working world is open 24 hours, seven days a week and time zones are inconsequential now. Your colleague can be working in a different country and your clients can be in another one again but it works. Distance is no object anymore. BUT, for those who are no longer in the paid workforce, what do we do? Do we carry on with Virtual Pilates, stay connected with friends as we Zoom into the bendy, breathy Yoga hour, run up and down the garden steps until we are red in the face and feel  that our physical activities are keeping us on track OR do we try something completely new. Now there’s a thought.

How many times have you wondered how perhaps you would write a book, do the fancy decorating on a cake? How you play Bridge, grow your own herbs, make wooden toys. How you learn to do something that you’ve always wanted to do but never had the time to before. If there is anything positive to take out of the pandemic, hibernation situation it’s this. You now have the time. How good is that?  Looking at four walls or goggle boxing all day doesn’t give you much inspiration but using that 24/7 internet mode I mentioned before where time zones are inconsequential you could do just that. There are tutorials for any subject you could possibly come up with. There are people out there recording You Tube video’s on how to decorate that cake, make those toys,  grow your own herbs and you can watch them over and over again, you can stop/start them time after time until you manage to get that bit right, and if you don’t? so what? But you just might and you may have found your new calling.  Positive thoughts.
