How to Find Joy During COVID-19
As you all know we are in a pandemic right now. No matter if you are working the front line or unemployed, working from home and playing teacher to your kids- our worlds have turned upside down. The ease of walking into your favorite stores are no longer- the nights of going to the gym to work off that stress are done ( for now) and we are now walking in to stores scared that we might "catch the virus"
It is a crazy time that is for sure. I wont lie some days are harder than others for me.
The other day I found this sign in my room. I got it from my friends at Lnique Linens- they gave them to us after their Event Specialist networking event they had a few months back. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. I try to always find joy in life but I wont lie... at times right now it is kinda hard.
I know I might have it "easier" than others right now- I am not on the front line of this pandemic and I get to work from home. I don't have to home school anyone and my house is filled with food and cleaning supplies. Things people wish they had. But I wont lie- I still struggle.
I miss my friends, my gym, going out to eat and walking in a store without being scared I might catch something- or worse pass it to my Grammy.
I miss my structured crazy life.
When I saw this sign I said to myself- Jamie, name 3 things that are giving you JOY right at this very moment. And I wont lie- when I did I realized how grateful I really am.
So I encourage you- anytime you are in a funk- I want you to take 5 minutes to think about what is bringing you JOY at this very moment in life.
Life is not fair. Life is not easy. But when you look- you will find JOY!
xoxo
