As lockdown might be beginning to ease down, we can hope to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But instead of waiting for things to return to whatever normal will be we can begin by working on ourselves and spending time doing things that we couldn’t otherwise. Quarantining has felt like being trapped but if we see this as an opportunity to rediscover ourselves and all the things we love them hopefully we won’t struggle to count down the hours. Blog 9 “Time alone? More like endless opportunities to blossom” by Brown Girl R. discusses how to make the most of this time you have. “Our mindset, will power and determination might be influenced by many factors but at the end of the day it is up to us to decide HOW we embrace ourselves. Our work plays a major role in how we identify ourselves and staying at home after a while can result in feeling a little lost with yourself. Having our usual routines disrupted can make us feel like we don’t know what we are doing nor what we need to do to regain momentum and sanity in our lives. Being isolated or being (what can sometimes feel like ‘trapped’) with children 24/7 can make us feel like we don’t really know who we are anymore. And because nothing is normal and what everyone is going through has not been okay. This is all normal, and it is okay.” Read more by clicking on the link above 👆. . . . . . . #dealingwithanxiety #isolation #quarantine #quarantinelife #blogger #bloggerlife #bloggerunder1k #handlettering #moderncallingraphy #calligraphy #tedtalks #motivation #motivational #youcandoit #wordporn #wordpress #inspirationalquotes #inspiration #quarantinereads #dealingwithisolation #thursday #thursdaymotivation

“Identify and address your triggers” Part 7 of our dealing with anxiety and isolation blog is posted now. We have all been anxious at some point in our lives and sometimes the anxiety can seem overwhelming. While we do not claim to be professionals we thought to share some tips and advice to how you can identify these triggers in order to be able to manage them better. If you feel that you do need professional help please do not hesitate to do so. Looking after your well-being is essentially looking after yourself. “Start to listen to yourself more, what I mean by this is be in tune with your emotions and gut feelings, if something doesn’t feel right listen to your intuition and at the same time try and understand why. Try and think of every time you have felt this way (you can keep a journal if you need to) and then try and think of what had happened before, after and around the situation. See if you can identify any common factors. Keeping a record can help you identify any patterns and in turn can help you understand the root cause. Coping with anxiety is looking after your well being and making sure you know that you are safe, well and that no one else has the power to make you feel anxious unless you allow them to. Because the focus should be you, how you feel and how you are looking after yourself.” Read more by clicking on the link above 👆and if needed please be sure to check out our support helpline page linked in the blog.

“The challenges of children and homeschooling” part 5 of our series looks at the struggles and pressures parents may feel dealing with not just the looking after but also the teaching of their children. You are not alone and you will get through this. “As parents our main role is to look after and nurture our children, to make them feel loved and safe. We teach them by setting ourselves up as the example we want them to learn from, we teach them to learn how to feed themselves, how to put on their clothes and how to look after themselves. ‘Please’ and ‘Thank you’s are introduced at home and reminded in schools. The parent is the first teacher of the child and although they are not responsible of introducing and teaching the Education Curriculum to their children, children learn a lot from us, and I mean A LOT. This pandemic has affected the whole world and schools being closed nationwide means everyone is in the same situation. Some schools may provide more resources and work for children but not all schools have. Some children are doing homework provided by schools everyday whereas others have been given nothing more that a few activity sheets and an online website with their password on the last day of school and nothing more. What does this mean? Are some children going to come out much further ahead than other children? Are some children going to fall behind a year? Will children forget everything they’ve learnt? Stop. Take a deep breath. And Relax.” Read more by clicking on the link above 👆. Reflect. Love.

Comment below if you're feeling confused after the new #lockdown easing rules? New blog up now link in the bio! Dealing with anxiety and isolation 3: Confusion and uncertainty. The emotional rollercoaster. BGN "I am sure, like many, your emotions are a bit all over the place. You are trying to do the right thing, whatever that may be. Trying to stay safe and keeping your loved ones safe during lockdown without feeling overwhelmed can be challenging especially when we are presented with confusing new rules rather than clarity. It is hard during this time not to be confused and not to question your every move. Uncertainty brings with it a variety of emotions that perhaps stability may not. You might be feeling confused, scared, worried, sad, overwhelmed or even anxious as a combination of emotions you are not sure how to deal with. I want you to know that there is no right or wrong way to feel or deal with the unprecedented changes that we are all facing together."

Hope you’re all well lovely people. We’re already on to the third segment of our “Dealing with Anxiety and Isolation” series. While we’re all adjusting to the changes we have been faced with, some may seem more challenging or difficult to work around. Don’t worry you’re not alone nor are you incapable. We’re are to help guide you through these uncertain and unprecedented times. Today’s blog is all about dealing with the challenges you may face whilst working from home and how to make the most of your day with Brown Girl R. “For those working from home, it can seem like a blessing or a curse but what it really depends on is your mindset. Yes you might not get all the free time those that are not working are getting, and you may still need to look presentable by ‘showing up’ for video calls and conferences, which means getting up and getting ready. You may also need to create a presentable space for where the video calls take place and this could mean rearranging you living space and the upkeep of it, resulting in more work for you to do. However, if you choose to view your work as a blessing that you able to continue to do in this uncertain unprecedented time compared to the many who cannot even if they wanted to, then you can even look at the ‘work’ behind your work as a further benefit rather than a hindrance. Working from home can mean that you do not have all the hours of the day to spend on what you wish to spend on, but it also means that you have structure and routine on a day that can be spent doing nothing otherwise.” Read more by clicking on the link above 👆. . . . . . #isolation #quarantine #quarantinelife #lockdown #lockdown2020 #workingfromhome #wfh #lounge #anxiety #dealingwithisolation #dealingwithanxiety #blogger #bloggerunder1k #handlettering #moderncalligraphy #calligraphy #womenwhowrite #empowerment #
