At all times. Particularly now. It is going to get better, but in the meantime:
Resilience.
There are a million and one things our minds are trying to solve. Our brains are in overdrive trying to solve problems that are, at the moment, largely unsolvable.
Ask your brain to slow down. Give yourself permission to say, right now, for a few moments, I’m not trying to solve anything.
Your brain needs a break.
And a dash of gratitude. About anything big or small that you appreciate today.
Bringing in the gratitude and stopping all of the other thoughts. Just for a few moments. It’s in the small things and brief moments that are so easy to take for granted, and in the brief moments. They are important.
This time is really about reinventing new routines, new patterns of behaviour. Redesigning the structures of how you recharge. Get really conscious about what it is that you need.
Because you need to recharge to be able to do the things that you find important – and to do them effectively.
Turning them into habit is a part of the key. Recharge, connect, rebuild structures, make a conscious choice.
Be brave, reach out. You don’t need to have to figure everything out on your own, not even this. Reconnect - to yourself and to the bigger world. And keep going.
