¿Alguien más ha perdido el suelo en todo el desajuste de la cuarentena? Llevo ya cuatro semanas encerrada (y aún sin fecha de salida), y parece que no solo la salud y la economía nacional están de cabeza. También nosotros.
Cuando teníamos semanas de siete días y días de 24 horas, con rutinas establecidas, todos sabíamos qué hacer. Me refiero a que entendíamos nuestras prioridades, aunque no tuviéramos el tiempo que deseábamos para ellas. Ahora muchos hemos perdido eso de vista. Pareciera que hay dos tipos de personas en la cuarentena:
Unos en un círculo obsesivo de productividad: entre Duolingo, MasterClass y la creación de sus nuevas empresas, no queda lugar para la ansiedad (y a veces tampoco para la empatía).
Y el segundo tipo se encuentra en estado de rendición: la vida transcurre en pijamas y Netflix, entre comida, imaginación y autocompasión.
Pero perdemos de vista lo esencial: hay otros. Están los amigos y familia que nos aman y a quienes amamos, y que aunque no haya mucho de qué hablar ahora, son lo que hace que valga la pena despertar, con o sin cuarentena. Están las millones de personas que atraviesan esta crisis sufriendo, y que no volteamos a ver lo suficiente.
Creo que cuando no teníamos tiempo, nos preocupábamos más por los demás.
Ningún libro, curso, película, idioma, receta, jardín, grupo muscular, color de paredes o corte de cabello nos va a dar lo que nos da el voltear a mirar a los otros. Amar y ser amados sana. ¿Cómo se sanan las heridas? Hablando con los que queremos, preguntando sin juzgar, conversando de cualquier cosa, esforzándonos por los demás, estando ahí para el otro cuando me necesita y no solo cuando me es cómodo, volviendo a la realidad de que el mundo no soy yo, sino todos. Eso es finalizarse.

When staying at home 24/7 it is important to have a daily routine. Cook, bake, workout or read besides working from home. It’s nice to keep me busy during these crazy times.

This is so true and a great reminder that we do need to make the extra effort now to stay in touch since some of our friends and family may be feeling the loneliness very strongly. My sister-in-law has been setting up family visits on Zoom, so that’s something we’re looking forward to. Can you imagine if this had happened back in the 1970s when we didn’t have the resources (cell phone apps with pictures and text for a quick hello, live conversations over the computer, internet) to keep ourselves entertained and in touch? We’d have felt really isolated. Thank you for reminding us!

‘ Loving and being loved heals. How are wounds healed? Talking with those we love, asking without judgment, talking about anything, striving for others, being there for the other when they need me and not only when it is comfortable for me, returning to the reality that the world is not me, but everyone .’ – wow!! this is so true. When this is over I want to focus on being more present.
You said about the two types of people – which I agree with, but I think it’s important for everyone just to do what they want/need to do and be okay with that. I’ve seen people getting angry because people post productivity ideas on twitter…i know for me, I just try to keep my platform positive. why would I want to put someone else down? So why is it okay to shoot others down just for trying to help. The most important takeaway from all of this is too not compare yourself and just do whats best for you. Want to watch netflix? fine! but don’t tear into others for creating ideas to help those who want to do something – same goes the other way!
Stay safe!!

I think now we have more time we actually care more about others, at least that’s what I’m finding where I live. Our support for NHS workers and key workers is at an all time high, as is our concern for our neighbours. We are very lucky! Stay safe 🙂

I actually think in this time we have more care for others, just less obvious ways of expressing it. While we can’t meet up and talk or see our loves ones, I think there’s a greater sense of community support for those in need, we’re taking more time to check up on our neighbours and repsecting oneanothre’s health and safety by distancing. It’s strange time! x

I feel like with people having more time on their hands that people are probably caring a lot more for others. Seeing the community doing things such as going to the shop for someone else because they can’t, just seeing how kind everyone has been to each other is lovely. It is strange having a different routine at the moment though, I am still working as I can work from home, but I am having to work less hours, feel like I need to be more productive in the extra time I have! xx

Loved reading this post. It definitely important to remind ourselves of what matters most – the well-being of our loved ones. I’ve been trying my best to stay in touch with my family, but I know I could do better. Thanks for the reminder.
Much love always,
