Lockdown Blues

Anyone else feeling them? Short days, miserable weather and the feeling that I’m living the same day on repeat. It’s not doing much for a positive can do attitude. I like to think I’m ‘naturally’ a happy person, I tend to wake up feeling excited for the day ahead. I think I’ve learnt it’s not so much ‘natural’ but orchestrated by myself subconsciously. This has got me thinking I need to sort out these lockdown blues and make myself happier once again.

I like to think I know myself fairly well, however its not as easy as you’d think to say what makes you happy and how you can bring more of that back to your life during lockdown rules. For example and easy one for me is that I love horses and riding, but due to relocating I’m between horses and can’t just go book a hack or riding lesson.

I’ve decided to section out my life into ‘parts’ that make me happy and give me value. These are now my to do list, to ensure I am giving some time to each part of my life that adds value to me. On top of this I’ve set myself some ‘good’ habits to get into, including getting up at my original normal time (not 8.30!!!) and righting in my planner every morning.

How are you all finding this lockdown?
