Welp. Friends, we are going onto month 8th of this pandemic. Don’t you remember when we got the call that the kids were off for two additional weeks post-spring break? Well, that changed quickly! It’s so strange to really think back to even the days before the news broke that the coronavirus was indeed something to fear here. We as a family went from clinking glasses with relatives in big crowds to 3 months not seeing anyone at all.
We have all spent the majority of 2020 pivoting and adapting to every single change thrown our way, and let’s be honest – it has been a real doozy.
First thing first, there was no preparing for this. At all. Regardless of the extra wine and canned goods you purchased back in March, none of us really knew the tole the pandemic would take on all of us. And, by all of us I mean from us to our children – So let’s just take a moment and pat ourselves on the back. Because we are here, doing our best and living through a f*n pandemic. Let that sink in! This is wild!
It’s okay to feel sad, anxious, annoyed, angry etc. This has been a doozy of a year, and you are NOT alone in having tough moments/days. If you are feeling overwhelmed with the emotions you are experiencing, reach out for help – we are not built to be superheroes through this.
There are a few things I have implemented this year that really have changed the way I go about my day, for emotional and physical well being. I have implemented a few of these rituals into my boys days too!
- Mindful Mornings: The second you open your eyes in the morning, we are flooded with thoughts about what our day will entail, and emotions of immediately feeling overwhelmed or dreading that ground-hog day feeling we have been in for 7 months. SO! What should you do? HAVE A MINDFUL MOMENT – For me, the second I wake up I say a quick prayer, grateful for my life, the health and love of those around me. Next, I think of a few ordinary moments I look forward to that day (coffee, park with kids, a yummy dinner…) Taking a few seconds to start on a grateful, positive note really helps set the tone for the rest of your day! I do this with my boys too if they wake up grouchy, just to re-set their mood!
- Equilibria: Guys, this CBD is no joke. A few weeks into the pandemic and “Stay at home order” my anxiety started to creep back in. On top of that, we stayed at home for pretty much 3 months, never really leaving the house at all – maybe a car ride for ice cream. My anxiety was increasing and the last thing I wanted to do was to change my dose of anxiety medication and have side effects. I came across Equilibria CBD and had no idea the balance it would bring to my mood, my anxiety, my sleep and my energy. It is incredible, and truly the ONE thing that has made the greatest impact on my life (and dan’s too!)
- Movement: Move your body babes! Get those endorphins moving. It does not need to be a 5 mile walk, or a trip to the gym. You can literally loop up and down your street. Put a podcast on, or some good music and take a few minutes! It will make such a difference in breaking up your day. I try to take 3 small walks a day to break up my work day!
- Be Social: This was tough for me – It’s weird after months of staying at home and being fearful of the outside world to transition into feeling comfortable going to gatherings, even outside. I struggled big time with feeling guilt for getting together with friends, all the while worrying for the next two weeks if my kids would get sick. It’s definitely a mind F*. Whether you are comfortable hanging out with a small circle of friends, or not – at least take the time for a long phone conversation! Maintain healthy conversations with loved ones, regardless of what form it takes shape in – period!
Friends, most importantly check in with yourself and check in with others. This has been a difficult year, and yet -so many beautiful things have come from it as well. Extra time together as a family, getting to know our neighbors more, a slower-pace life we always begged for. Enjoy this time of life slowing down, hone in on the things that bring you JOY and dive into it. Pick up a new hobby, read a new book, make new online friends – this year is the year we will all experience so much growth, and that is something to be SO proud of!
