Rona Madness: Let's Check In

*In Adele’s voice* Hello it’s meeeee! Seriously though, I wanted to check in and find out how you’re doing.

In a short space of time, around the world we have gone from being out and about, to “Please don’t go out too much”, to in countries like England and Italy “Oii get in yer house” And whilst I fully support the social distancing and lockdown plan, it can’t help but cloud the mind.

I love being away from people so I was super gassed with the plan. I was doing the Charlton (from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air’s) side swings originally, but honestly, depression and the overactive thoughts have kicked in this week.

I’m aware of the pattern so I’m doing daily check-ins with myself, and practising techniques I’ve gained from therapy. I’m not a therapist, but I’m going to drop some gems. Each day I begin by being present and stretching. I haven’t mastered meditation yet so I stretch and listen to J Balvin’s new album.

Even if your mental health isn’t swaying into a sensitive direction daily morning check-ins are a good way to be present and set your intentions for the day. So even if you’re in your house riding this out by yourself, make sure you take the time to ask yourself “How am I doing, how do I feel?’

However you’re feeling each day, own it. And take it one day at a time.

Sending you some Frizzy love and light!
