Lessons from Lockdown

I was really fortunate last month to be able to restart my monthly Walk and Talk events.

It was great to see people again and all the people who took park really appreciated being able to get out and meet other like-minded people.

We talked about what the past year has taught us and if there were things that we would now change because of the last year.
The common theme that came out was valuing time spent with loved ones but also allowing time to look after ourselves.

In the past I think we have all experienced feelings of guilt when taking time out to look after ourselves, why is that?

The one thing lockdown has enabled us to do is spend more time at home and not finding ourselves rushing around trying to fit in 101 things in a day.

We all agreed on our walk that we would stop feeling guilty looking after ourselves, whether that is taking some time out to read a book, listen to music or just sitting in the garden and reflecting on the day.

It will be really interesting to look back in a year’s time and see if we did achieve that or if life just got in the way again!

My next Walk and Talk event is on Monday 26th April and I have added a third walk at 5:00pm for those who find that time easier.

I have a series of videos on YouTube with further reflections – check out my Lockdown thoughts here: Lessons from Lockdown
