Getting out of the pandemic life.

I went to sleep last night, I mean early this morning with a do to list already in mind. They say doing a to do list makes it easier to go through the day. My special COVID 19 to do list goes like this:- Wake up not too late, do the bed, clean the house, read my current ongoing book, do any kind of online training, running next to the canal, cook and eat healthy, write my first post.As it may happen to many people currently, I woke up not even wanting to wake up from the bed. I did not want to wake up to do the same day over and over again. I have been confined in my house for 60 + days now and as many of the world, went out for grocery shopping. I did not have any motivation and to make it worst, today I had my allergies – allergies from dust, pollen, humidity, not to mentioned more. I felt my anxiety and depression rising together with the fear of the unknown.If this did not happen previously during the current situation, I would still be in bed, crying out of frustration. I believe that if this quarantine life showed me something is to accept this difficult days as they come but also to push myself out harder to do at least one simple thing that would make the day count. I have no shame to say that I went out of bed at 5 pm, I eventually did my bed and I vacuumed the house and sneezed more than 50 times while doing this. I cooked baked beans and eventually took a refreshing shower. Here I am, sitting down, relaxed and sipping an exotic fruits tea. I did not tick everything in my to do list, I did not go running; I was too scared to sneeze in public because sneezing is a real threat nowadays. But I am finally writing my first post for the Magnetic Elephant; writing is one of the thing in life which I enjoyed the most, it is also something I left behind due to my overloaded work days I have had. We heard it so many times but the hardest is to get out of the bed. I believe the most difficult is to start it, the most enjoyable is doing it. If we need to get out of this pandemic life, we need to start doing the things we enjoy most, the thing that makes us feel alive and that will make each day count.
Ah, and being relaxed got the allergies out or maybe because I vacuum the dust out 🤷♀️
