Although the Reiki room is closed for now, we are making sure the beautiful energy in here remains. This will be a welcome retreat for the kids and I for the next while as we look after our mental health during these uncertain times. I’m not going to lie, I’ve had a few wobbles this week seeing so many good friends having to press pause on businesses, my own included, kids being taken out of school without seeing friends for the foreseeable and being so scared for the health of loved ones. So....here are the steps we are taking to make life as easy and positive as possible.
✨trying to keep routine while I work my office job from home (we stay close to the school so the kids remind me when it’s break/snack time!)
✨Grandparents are kindly doing FaceTime lessons with the kids daily - it seems to be working well so far. In between we have the I pad and google classroom,colouring books etc. I’m not a teacher but will do my best to keep them occupied and learning as much as possible. Helping in the kitchen included!
✨Spending more time cooking, working on new recipes and organising the house while I’m home - we usually have so many activities we are never here.
✨Appreciating the things we are often too busy to notice - spring bulbs popping through, listening to the birds and so grateful for the sunny week we’ve had.
✨learning ‘tapping’ with the kids - some great apps to help guide you and the kids are really feeling the benefits - especially my 10yo who is a little more aware of what’s going on in the world just now.
✨Playing more games and going back to basics.
✨keeping up exercise, although my next run is postponed I will continue to train and see the extra time as a bonus.
✨Reading, crocheting and finishing off projects that I didn’t have time to finish.
✨Essential oils, healthy feel good food and relaxing teas before bed.
✨REIKI and lots of it!
