How I'm Really Feeling Right Now

Link

What a year it has been so far. So many of us claimed 2020 was going to be our year and to be honest - I wish I could start the year again. 

With everything that is going on I wanted to get my feelings out and off load to keep my sanity.

So how am I feeling? Pretty rubbish, I'm not going to lie. I have been positive up to this point to keep life normal but this week has really hit me hard.  It is just the uncertainty of what will happen. I don't mind being at home, I have 6 more Poldark books to read so that will keep me going for a while. What I worry about is all the endless talk on social media 'my friend lives here and ...' 'Apparently there is a case in the town'. 

I have chosen to mute everything to do with what is going on from my timeline but it still pecks through, making me all together avoid twitter. I am focusing my energy on Instagram where I find people are trying to entertain and distract their followers, rather that scare them. 

There are a few things I am doing to keep myself sane and I thought I was just pop them here, in case any of them help you. 

• Mute all social media which encourages gossip and false information. 
• Only look for information from the NHS website and the PMs daily updates
• Keep my normal routine as much as I can 
• Plan my meals so that I don't waste food and I might be able to discover new receipts 
• Make a list of things I want to get done in case of lockdown - gardening, blog post ideas, DIY, books to read, new meals
• Make plans for the future - we might not know when this is all going to end but we can make plans, with no future date, to have something to look forward to
• Use the whole of your space - keep your living room for relaxing, bedroom for sleeping and any other room for anything else so you are not stuck in one room for 12 weeks
• Keep in touch - whether that's a text, call or a video chat
• Make use of the garden - hopefully spring has finally arrived so if you have a garden, this is the perfect opportunity to use the space and enjoy it. 
• Recreate outfits from Pinterest - Pinterest is full of information, use it!

I might be posting a lot of here for the foreseeable future so that I can keep myself busy. 

Please all remember to stay safe and most importantly, we are all in this together (I cant say that now without thinking about the cast dancing...)
