The days pass and the measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus are getting tougher. You stay home and your expenses are reduced to a minimum. And even though this seemed beneficial to you in the early days of your compulsory stay at home, it’s already getting tired. Your life has changed drastically. You quarrel with the rest of the “incarcerated,” with the younger ones constantly complaining about anything and everything, while the older ones, even if they do not complain, are usually in a bad mood and constantly worried. And even though you’re supposed to have more time, the day passes, work never ends, and you feel tired, frustrated and pessimistic. What’s the problem?
You have every right to feel this way, and none of us like to change their habits abruptly and even under the threat of a widespread illness. You have let go of whatever you like to do, the children with their own problems are constantly at home, now you are taking on the role of educator, plus you have your own job or worse you cannot work during this time and you have stress and fear for the future. How easy is it to feel good?
It’s not easy at all. But there are some things that can help you adapt to this situation more effectively.
One of them is the daily routine.
Create a daily routine for the children
Routine enhances our sense of security and stability, and this is what we all need, especially the children.
Set your own daily routine.
Make a plan of what you need to do each day and set timetables. Schedule your work hours, being at home does not mean working 24 hours a day. Calculate time for what you need to do but also for what you want to do, your exercise, your relaxation, your communication.
The daily routine helps you maintain the feeling that everything is going well and reduce stress and fatigue. It ensures that you get the important things done and that you have time for yourself. And don’t forget that as long as we are healthy things are going well.
