(ENG) Maria in Sweden encourages you to treat yourself well

Published: April 18, 2020, 7 a.m.

How am I coping with Corona? I am trying to do everything I normally would, to study, to work, to exercise, to meditate. I am trying to keep my routine going, which has been extremely productive. But I am also allowing for moments in which I feel bad, I feel sad, I feel confused or lazy, because it is a very emotional journey to be self-isolated at home. So I try to keep things normal when I feel normal but I also myself not to be normal when I don't feel like it. Because this is not a normal situation. And also, one thing that it making me feel better, is to cook a lot of amazing food that I normally think about to learn - but I never have enough time. And then, cooking something nice for myself is a way of feeling grateful, a way to feel you achieved something, and it is also a piece of love you are giving to yourself. Try to focus on all the things you can learn with this Corona-crisis, all the things you would like to change in your life, and change in the world. Because this crisis also gives us a sense of hope, of wealth - even if now it is hard, even if now it is hard and there are still many things to live in the world and in life.
