Hi Friends! I woke up this morning and asked my boyfriend, “It’s Thursday - right?” To which he replied, “Yes - It’s almost the weekend.” After a pause, we then both broke into hysterical laughter. The weekend - The WEEKEND?!? It seems all time has lost it’s meaning for us in Brooklyn. When I really think about the, now, TWO MONTHS of quarantine we’ve endured, I’m completely mystified. The days are long, but the weeks go by fast and though I feel like I’m accomplishing things on a personal level, there really isn’t anything to accomplish…or at least it seems that way.
After the reassurance that it is Thursday, I started to spiral a little in my brain - thinking about the past two months of nothingness and the two months before that of ALL the work for nothingness - then thinking about how unsure the future really is right now - where will we all be two months from now?!?! It was a LOT.
Mindfulness - staying in the moment - in the here and now has saved me many times and today I was reminded of this. I even did a little meditation today. If you are spiraling, take a bunch of deep breaths and take the time to observe the world all around you - in the moment. I promise it helps.
But it is Thursday - right? Holly xo
You could also give up and just eat a cookie - this helps too!
