Lockdown

Matt Haig on twitter.

1.       Get a routine. Uncertainty can be a source of anxiety. Routines are the counterbalance. Make it a baggy one though. And let it feel natural. 

2.       Limit news intake. We aren’t designed for a continuous 24/7 overload of bad news we have little control over. Rolling news and social media has health consequences. Be aware of how they make you feel.

3.       Ditch guilt. There is no ‘right’ way to live through this. Just getting through alive is sometimes enough.

4.       Remember you don’t have to be productive in your downtime. You don’t have to bake banana bread or learn the mandolin or study Italian. Having a shower and eating toast and existing is just as legitimate. Though if you do want to make something, make hummus. It is a pretty chill activity I find.

5.       Reframe uncertainty. Uncertainty can have positive effects. When we realise we can’t predict the future we can spend that energy in the present. Focusing on the place and people and world right in front of us.

‘Live in the question’ as Rilke [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainer_Maria_Rilke German poet] put it.

6.       Breathe. Breath is your mood barometer. To know how you feel, place your hand on your stomach and feel your breath. Then slow it. A busy brain wants nothing less and needs nothing more than to slow down. 

7.       Use social media mindfully. Connect properly. Don’t just go on random like sprees. Don’t scroll through feeds that make you feel bad. Converse. Console. Connect. Then take time out.

8.       Don’t be a dick. Wear a mask. Don’t spread unchecked conspiracies. Look after the vulnerable. Support the health workers. Caring feels good and reminds us we humans are truly in this together.

9.       Appreciate the outside world. Nature is calming because it connects us with eternity. The sky is always the sky. A tree doesn’t give a shit about the news. We are nature. We become ourselves within it.

10.   Remember this will one day be over and we will appreciate the things we couldn’t do more than ever before. This is a massive value check. We have learned what we really need and miss and what and who we can do without. And very often the worst of times lead to the best of us. Change is pain, but pain is growth. We sometimes need the shade to accentuate the light.
