Painted the ceiling and baked the cake!
And made a plan of sorts..
If you have been isolated have your habits changed? Solitary confinement is the worst punishment in our penal system here in uk and I can see why!
Without inrending to or even being aware of it till now, I have dropped my routines, which I reaiise provided me with a supportive scaffolding, especially after my husband died when I was trying to rebuild an interesting life without him.
The thing is they (the good habits and routines) were not an end in themselves. During lockdown, without the interests - family, friends, travel, concerts and galleries -all the riches of my life, they seemed a bit pointless and I gradually stopped bothering to exercise, dry body brush, Wim Hof breathe, write morning pages, do the Fly Lady tasks etc etc. It felt as though they were the means to an end that was no longer available to me, and in and of themselves were not very important. I think { was wrong.
They helped me through past crises (see this post) and can probably help me through this one. Just to consiider the ones listed above - they gave me energy, a clear mind and a clean house! Not to be sneezed at (oops, that's maybe an unfortunate term to use!).
So part one of the plan is to start tomorrow to re-introduce the most helpful of the good habits.
There are 13 posts under the category Simply Routine if you would like a browse.
I reread them all, and the ever helpful and supportive comments. You might like this, or this, if you too want to get back on track. :-)
Part two of the plan tomorrow...
Thank you for reading.
