End of the state of alarm...and now what?

Last week I gave a webinar for the BCN city hall on how to stay healthy both physically and mentally working from home. Challenging as it was to adapt to this “obligation”, now going back to the new normal has its challenges as well.
This article is interesting in my opinion and in line with what I do coaching clients at the moment. Most important is to stay in the moment and focus on things you can control; the future is impossible to foreseen and control; always and now even more!

Evaluate what worked well for you over the last months (new activities/habits) and try to keep them as part of your life. This will mean that at least this will have a positive effect on your physical and mental energy in the new normal; make this part of the “normal” and then let’s see what the external “new” influences will bring.
Prepare yourself the best you can starting by what you know works well for you!!

In this blog article, we provide some key points to help easy any anxiety you may have around coming out of quarantine.

For our Dutch followers: in the podcast organized by Kring Nederlands Bedrijfsleven in Barcelona (Dutch Business Network in Barcelona) physiotherapist and coach Koen Peter Willems explains you how to manage your physical and mental energy during this period.

Voor de vierde aflevering in de podcastserie Kringgesprekken spraken we met drie Kringleden over wat Covid19 betekent voor de sport- en evenementenbranche. Zo legt Maurien Møller (1900 activities) uit waarom de huidige situatie ook juist inspirerend kan werken voor sporters; vragen we Koen Willems ( )naar tips om, al thuiswerkend, fysiek en mentaal gezond te blijven en heeft Pascal Jorritsma (Inventions) wel een idee hoe we de Kringevents in de komende periode coronaproof kunnen houden.

Mental coaching in times of (Corona) quarantine; “slow down you move too fast...”

Here in Barcelona just like in many places all over the world the world came to an almost complete standstill over the last weeks.
More than ever I receive questions on how to deal with the stress of not “producing” anything. People apparently feel a bit lost when not “scoring”.
This off course is in line with the values of our occidental capitalist society where we are taught to “earn” points buy doing more (endless to-do-lists) and/or having more (more cloths, a better bank account, a nicer house...).

With this standstill this scoring gets complicated and we have to live with daily life without moving forward.
I often compare life to running and one of my favorite lines is “if you run fast the advantage is that you don’t have time to see what’s surrounding you”...in daily life this means that running keeps you away from dealing with how you really feel and which choices you have made over your life. For some people this is easier than coping with reality.

Now it’s time to sit still and look around, reflect and question yourself on your basic existence.
WHO AM I?? What characteristics do I have? I bet you ARE more then just a do-er and a collector of things.
You ARE a nice and honest person, you ARE patient and a good listener, you ARE creative, you ARE a good parent/friend/daughter/son, you ARE okay with yourself reading a book or listening to nice music.

“The more you ARE less you have to DO or HAVE to compensate”

If this sounds familiar, I invite you to make a “to-BE-list” where you focus on things in your live that have to do with experiences on feelings and BE-ing. If you manage you will feel better now and in the future, feel less stress of not “scoring points” and for sure raise your positive energy. Enjoy this exercise which might need some training 😉!

To help the song Society of Eddy Vedder might be a good motivator and reminder!!
