It’s Friday it feels exhausting, surreal, unreal…in seven days we have as individuals, families and a society gone through what feels like a series of horror box sets…if the script had been written and filmed the critics would have uttered, ‘a car crash of exaggerated imaginative narrative.’ Yet this is our script!

As a worker in ‘Wellness’ it certainly has been a week of ‘overwhelming exhaustiveness’, coupled with apprehension about loved ones and being mum! Yet I have been mindful of my Wellness on all levels ! I have ran, done yoga and walked…I’m so aware of the importance of exercise to calm, to energise and hydrate the mind, body and soul..

I did need to remind myself that although my Cups may not need me to physically look after them, they need my emotional empathy !

Their Grandparents are in isolation…their friends are distancing physically, and their routines are shattered ! They are the generation of instant, of virtual, of social media… and the hard lesson they are learning is that virtual is not real!

In the moment when we the older generation are embracing reliance on technology and social media…. our Cups are wanting real connection!

I really feel this awful interlude in our lives will provide a consciousness..

I know personally that deep trauma, loss and change lead to a clarity on what really matters, and the wonder of human nature outshines the awfulness..be kind to yourself, to your loved ones, and nature and keep safe xox
