“Don’t build a wall around your own suffering – it may devour you from the inside.”
– Frida Kahlo
Change and uncertainty can be a scary time for everyone – and it can be an extremely difficult time to adapt to the change of the current pandemic we are experiencing. At the same time, it is imperative to deal with the emotions you are feeling, build resilience and ensure your health and wellbeing is your number one priority.
Set yourself a commitment, one for each of our tips, to help you to best cope with the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic, protect your mental health and maximize your wellbeing.
When making your commitments, make them as S.M.A.R.T. as possible (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound)…and don’t forget to also take Ownership – make yourself accountable for the commitments you are setting!
COMMITMENT: STICK TO A DAILY ROUTINE
In order to be productive and stay motivated, it is important to stick to a daily routine and to your normal daily habits as much as you can. This helps to add purpose to your day and keeps you on track for what you need to achieve.
For example:
‘Each morning I am going to wake up and go for a run’, ‘I am going to schedule out my breaks for the day ’ and ‘I am going to write down my to-do list and prioritize what needs to be done at the beginning of each day.
