My lockdown started on 2 March when I had my surgery so what do I know 4 weeks in?
Nothing is guaranteed.
My Plan:
* during my 10-12 weeks recovery I would take 1-6 weeks on complete rest.
* I would be at home, alone from 8am until 4pm and I could move from bed to sofa without guilt. * 4-8pm I could use my energy for my family, put on a brave face and be there for them.
* Wks 6-10 would be gently easing back into work by using 1-2 hours a day on the laptop building my new service to be ready to be launched when I returned at 12 weeks.
My reality
*wks 2-4 my family would join me in complete lockdown
*torn with guilt that I couldn’t share the household burden with my husband during this CV crisis
*torn with guilt that I couldn’t do fun workouts with kids because I can’t kick a ball or even touch my toes .
*torn with guilt that I wasn’t well enough to help my clients with HR when they needed me most
So what to do?
“Plan A is not an option so let’s kick the **** out of Plan B” Cheryl Sandberg
My focus is to recover well, get fit and healthy so that I can go back to helping my hubby, kids, family/friends and clients. That is my only goal. Until last week felt very guilty about that, but after a weekend of soul searching I realise that is my most important work and priority for the next while and it is vital I give it 100%
These are crazy times …. I am just trying not to let my mind go crazy as well.
New month. New mission. Get well.
Hope everyone else out there is adjusting to our new normal.
Stay safe in body and mind .
Until next time
