Social distancing, thoughts and tips on how to stay positive during the outbreak

During social distancing, most of us have more time to face ourselves and our wandering mind. The world is on pause and suddenly the birds seem to sing louder, sweet blossom aromas are in the air and, in the midst of the uncertainty, there is a sense of serenity once you open the window. Isn’t this beautiful? Extremely powerful too? The force of Nature is thriving and maybe it is her way to remind us how strong she is, despite us collectively destroying and neglecting her all this time. More than ever before, we must rethink our living on Earth. The way we consume, produce, travel, live day to day lives. We all must strive for a harmonic way to coexist not only along with each other but with the whole ecosystem, whether a business or a consumer.

We must look out for each other, support and encourage one another and spread positivity. Be there for our loved ones, even if it is a text message, a simple call to remind them that we love them. As our responsibilities grow, to look after the kids, the elderly, or anyone who is in need, we must not forget that we cannot pour from an empty cup. I strongly encourage you to take care of yourself first, have some space to breathe and refocus on the positive. Without any guilt but with the same love you fully give to others.
