Starting the day in COVID-19 time

Here I am, working from home, adapting to new realities, trying to remaining positive, productive and in a good health. I went back to physical activities, eating better and talking with friends I haven't seen in a long time. I have been trying to find out what is outside and keep an eye on my changes also on how the world is changing. One thing is right, we won't be the same as before. The transformations are countless and include economy, social relations and psychology.

To keep myself sane, I have focused on positive changes. I’ve seen kinder people, thinking collectively and also organizing better at home

Positive way to see life helps to keep our house at the same vibe. We already know that our homes are extension of who we are. But It seems like I am spending my days riding an emotional roller coaster: almost all time I am very positive, productive and creative but sometimes I feel fearful and uneasy. When I feel worried, I know I need to try to change my circumstances in order to feel better. Considering it, I implemented some actions at morning to change my mood and worked out!!!!

Positive morning

I am trying not waste my days with the same ritual, without modifications or following the same rules. Enjoying my breakfast, taking a long shower and listening one of my favorite playlists; not just bad news. Drinking my hot pure coffee with my most beautiful mug. Taking a couple of minutes to give myself a relaxing moment in my small patio, listening a inspiring music. It makes me smile and feel that my day will be awesome. While I am listening it I take the time to breathe calmly, turn on my essential oil diffuser and give my space a pleasant fragrance that contributes to the mood of my place.

Having as much fun as I can, rejoicing during every part of my day. During the day, the fear of the unusual time can catch me and overwhelm me, but at least I will have lived and enjoyed every moment.

Before the pandemic started, I confess that my breakfast was being neglected. I was always eating not healthy at morning, and rushing all time...I know, I know... Many nutritionists say that breakfast is the most important meal, and it really is essential: a reinforced breakfast, with many nutrients, vitamins and minerals, is the guarantee all the energy for the rest of the day. I am using this time to eat healthier. no, I am not depriving myself of the food I like. For me, the villain of my health is excess. To much carbs, too much sugar. I decided to have more balance but not forgetting that, eat needs to be a pleasure, a joy!

I decided to be more creative and taste different flavors. Today, for example I needed to eat Pineapple! Last week I was so inspired to eat healthier that I filled out my grocery cart with fruits. The problem is, too many fruits for only one week and now I need to use my imagination to consume everything I bought. So excited with the opportunity to use my Pineapple slicer I bought 2 years ago and never used... OMG! I got so excited when I saw the perfect slices that I needed to do something beautiful.

And needed to be colorful, healthy and delicious. Sometimes I really made my life not easy. But I am so proud of the result. A sandwich of pineapple, Greek yogurt, strawberries, raspberries, granola and honey! I am feeling a genius right now. Maybe I should change my career and just discovered a new talent on me.

Jokes aside, having a beautiful meal in front of us at the beginning of the day changes our energy for good. It is part of taking care of ourselves. I know, I know, Its being challenging times, and we still have too much to lead... But live happily, without guilt or disturbance and we will be ok!
