Lifelines
22 February 2021|Health
What are yours? Is your faith your anchor? Your family? Friends? Pets? Habits?
What is keeping you afloat? This is from Donna Ashworth: (Ladies Pass It On).
You’re not imagining it, nobody seems to want to talk right now.
Messages are brief and replies late.
Talk of catch ups on zoom are perpetually put on hold.
Group chats are no longer pinging all night long.
It’s not you.
It’s everyone.
We are spent.
We have nothing left to say.
We are tired of saying ‘I miss you’ and ‘I cant wait for this to end’.
So we mostly say nothing, put our heads down and get through each day.
You’re not imagining it.
This is a state of being like no other we have ever known because we are all going through it together but so very far apart.
Hang in there my friend.
When the mood strikes, send out all those messages and don’t feel you have to apologise for being quiet.
This is hard.
No one is judging.
Nailed it Donna, as usual. More help for a Healthy Mind can be found on our site.
I found an empty nest on our drive this morning, gales having blown it far from it’s home. Although displaced it’s still perfectly formed. I can give it’s creators a Lifeline by returning it to where it needs to be. We can do that. Let’s do it for one another.
This gem was added to the site this week, joining dozens of other podcasts.
A great, positive guy, Joe was a personal trainer, in a park, with no clients (his own words). He started sharing YouTube content and now has 27M subscribers on The Body Coach TV and has been made an MBE. Today’s workout has had 48k views at the time of typing and really made me smile.
Joe’s one of the many success stories of Lockdown Life.
A Lifeline some would say.
