I’ve had a fair few wobbly moments.<\/div>\n
\n

I reckon we all have.?<\/p>\n

A bit of crying. Disturbed sleep. Concern about my family – husband, daughters and their partners, brother and sister in law, mum, in-laws and friends.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Its tough. Its pretty easy to spiral downwards when all that we held as easy daily habits and manageable in our lives\u00a0suddenly change.<\/p>\n

I see it like an alien invasion – everyone on our planet is affected, regardless of status, income, race, colour, sex, age.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We hear of deaths.
\nWe hear of recoveries.
\nWe hear of vulnerable people who either recover, or not.
\nWe hear of fit people … who do not recover.
\nWe hear of other countries in a worse state than our own.
\nWe hear horror stories.
\nWe hear other peoples’ dramas.<\/p>\n

But none of that helps me.
\nI try to distance myself largely from these stories. What helps me more is this. …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I try to stop worrying about the stuff I have lost – like an income, or access to loo roll.<\/p>\n

I am now trying to focus every day on the things I can do which are GOOD and make me – personally – feel better.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That in turn gives me energy to help others who are struggling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One thing I’m doing is teaching online. I\u00a0LOVE to help others feel like I do.<\/p>\n

I am giving away a lot of my time with free workouts to my ladies … and every Tuesday at 6pm too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But last night I became really quite upset at something silly.<\/p>\n

and it WAS silly.\u00a0 So this morning – after a rubbish night – I used one of the techniques I give to my ladies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That is “The Pivot”.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Its easy in principle. A bit tougher to put into practice. It goes like this …<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

* Lets say you’re in a dark place
\n* Feeling low (not ill btw)
\n* Think about exactly how you feel.
\n* You name the emotion that you have – dig deep!
\n* Once you name it, ask yourself if its helpful to feel it.
\n* Then decide that its not helping.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then PIVOT
\n180% away from it.<\/p>\n

Decide on a better emotion.<\/p>\n

Gratitude is a great one at the moment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NOTE: Unless you are genuinely ill, fearful, struggling with grief, in a rage or clinically depressed or anxious, this IS possible.\u00a0 \u00a0 Try it!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PS you will be cynical. you will think you cannot. Just try saying “I CAN” and just find a positive and have a go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
