Can you find balance during a Pandemic?

I am really struggling to find balance in my life during this pandemic? Does anyone have any type of coping mechanisms that they use that are helpful? Thank you!

Hi Julester! It is quite difficult. I am also having a hard time balancing life during this pandemic. Some things that has helped me is to journal in the am and write down the things that I am grateful for. What could I enjoy on this day. Remind myself to move my body ! And focus on daily wins. Sometimes it doesn’t feel so much like a win but by looking forward to practicing self care routines and appreciating And finding something good for that day, at least one, really changes my mindset. Even if I am worried about a million other things, it just helps to not remain stagnant on the worry and the fears. I hope that helps. Look forward to reading and learning from others. 💓💓💓💓💓

I have been calling people to have a chat, it helps them and gives me something to think about. I used to work for a charity that went to visit vulnerable lonely people. Then after lockdown we started ringing people, the charity closed due to lack of funds. I still call people who wanted me to keep in touch. t keeps me busy and I am glad to do it, all I do is sit and watch too much television.
