Hey friends, how are you doing? 🌸

I’d like to give a bit of a positivity boost to everyone here, because I believe some of us need it right now.



First of all, if you’re worried, anxious or just feeling uneasy/unlike yourself, I want to tell you that’s okay - everyone across the world is no doubt feeling something similar, so you’re not alone in that respect

I find myself wondering, is there really a difference in lifestyle? I feel like the only difference is that we’re now technically on a ‘forced break’- for those who stay home all day or don’t go out much, it’s not that much of a change, I’d say

This is just something we need to adapt to over time, and don’t worry we’ll all get there

I know that just a few days ago I became uneasy because I felt the need to be more productive, to be doing something more during this time, and found myself wondering what everyone else was doing. But once I realised that everyone is just doing their own thing right now , whether that be keeping safe, playing games or anything; /the realisation that we can’t really change much, so we should just do our part and not worry so much/

If the media tells you about this being 'a crisis’ , or 'it could be six months’, or the situation is serious— I am sure we all already know this — just let it be. Like I said, /just focus on what you can control, not what is out of your reach/

If everyone plays their part, this situation will eventually end and our lives will return to normal; so just take it slow and steady.

And for the sake of everyone else, please keep 'reporting cases’ at a minimum in your household and those around you, we don’t need anymore heightened anxiety, and it’s out of respect for everyone’s state here

as long as we follow the hygiene rules, social distancing (if it applies in your country), there is no need to be panicked. Just take each and every day as it comes, limit your intake of the media if it overwhelms you, and just treat this as a period for you to relax no matter what is happening outside

I can’t say I know for sure what the situation is like in places like America (where most of you guys are from, I think…), and perhaps you’re in a bit more of a dire situation than our people down under here in Australia, but

even though you may feel isolated right now in these times, please know you don’t have to feel alone because we’re all connected online together- this is a time we can be greatly thankful for online connection!

and if you’re lost on what to do, here’s a few things!

- learn a new skill, take a new course: a lot of the top universities are now offering free online courses which might interest you

- watch all the shows or movies you’ve been wanting to watch but haven’t had the time to: now is that time!

- practice your hobby: you have all the time to do so now, but if you’re not feeling it, that’s absolutely okay!

- listen to music, write, do anything that relaxes or makes you happy

- watch animal livestreams: many zoos are now recording footage live for you to see cute animals in their exhibits!

- play games: there’s no need to feel guilty! play to your heart’s content— after all, it’s what everyone else is doing right now: just look at Animal Crossing

- hold voice calls/streaming/game sessions with those you know

🧡 I love you guys, thank you for being here. I know it’s a tough time for a lot of us, but trust me when I say we’ll get through 🧡
