Even though we are in a really weird, scary and sad time right now….its ok to see positives happening….and here are the positives Ive noticed from Lockdown:
- People out using their daily outside to go for walks – some who may never have gone for a walk before or those who always “too busy” to do it
- As above…using the local parks, being in nature – connecting
- Smiles to strangers – I certainly smile an say good morning on my daily walks
- Health its being prioritised massively
- Exercising at home – its amazing to see so many people moving
- Slower Pace of life for many, we are stopping…no rushing round and learning to be still
- Making memories with our loved ones
- Connections with friends and family (yes virtually) but I do believe friendships and relationships will become stronger after this
- People cooking at home
- Naps
- Gratitude
- Appreciation for others
- Less Pollution
- The Weather
- Quietness of the world
- The Sky
- Priorities changing for the better
- We are learning what we”really” need in life
- Making do with what we have
- Less greed (in the majority)
- Learning new skills..even if something small
- People reading more
- Being present – in the moment
- Looking within for what really matters
I do hope after this we all have a greater appreciation for the miracle that is life….I hope we carry on prioritising health, living life by our own rules and slowing down the pace a little. I hope we all become more grateful in every way and cherish all those we love…always
