Living In Isolation
As we know many people are now living in isolation, having no access to services or community involvement and little communication with family and friends. This can lead to loneliness. The coming weeks will be difficult for many, but it doesn’t mean that we should feel isolated, here are a few things that may help to pass the time.
The disruption of stay at home may involve a massive change to your daily routine which is unsettling so it’s important to establish a new one quickly.
What you could do to help keep busy and motivated
Listen to the radio more, look for new channels that entertain and educate but also talk about something other than Coronavirus e.g. Gardeners Question Time.
Take time out for yourself read a book, do a jigsaw puzzle, play an online game – the sort of things that normal day to day life doesn’t allow you to.
Spring cleaning and de-cluttering helps you to reorganise your space and helps to clear your mind.
Catch up with friends and family on a video call where possible, seeing them gives you both that extra re-assurance that they’re okay. Living in isolation doesn’t have to mean you can’t keep in touch with loved ones.
Keeping active is really important and whilst many have taken to the Joe Wicks work out there are several others.
The most important thing to remember is that you are not alone.
