As always, this blog is grateful for your unwavering support, Dear Readers!
The last few months have been very trying with the unwelcomed arrival of the Delta variant. Dear Readers, so many of you have emailed the JMS team to share the struggles of keeping your small business opened as local officials reimposed occupancy restrictions and mask mandates. There is no doubt that the Delta variant did “suppress the speed of the recovery and present substantial barriers to a vibrant economy.”
In case you are struggling to see the light at the end of an exhaustive pandemic-driven tunnel, Dear Readers, this blog is here for you! The JMS team understands that it is very challenging to remain optimistic when your livelihood is going up in smokes to no fault of your own. Consequently, on this holiday, this blog has put together a reset guide to keep anxiety at bay and channel all your energy to end the year on a high note. That’s right, Dear Readers, there is still plenty of time to turn things around! Do not give hope!
Thus, this blog is here with a Columbus Day bulletproof self-care diet that will soothe your battered spirits and get your life back on track (yes, even in this pandemic).
Step one: Develop an arsenal of habits to boost your morale on demand!
Dear Readers, you’ve told us repeatedly that you’ve had enough of the constant COVID-19 coverage. Some of you are still furious that you were not able to properly mourn the loved ones the coronavirus snatched away prematurely in both lockdowns. This blog gets it, and you have every right to feel this way.
But, Dear Readers, how much longer do you think that you can last fighting these depressive thoughts before losing your mind for real? Like anything else, your mental health becomes frail if you cultivate habits that abuse it repeatedly. Honestly, Dear Readers, do what you need to do to feel better. You might need to stop listening to the news for a while or avoid social media like the plague. Whatever you choose to de, remember to put a premium on relaxing activities that can snap you out of any anxiety-filled episode at a moment’s notice. Only when you’ve mastered the art of boosting your morale on demand; will you be able to get your life back on track for real. So why not start today, on Columbus Day?
Step two: Getting your life back on track requires resetting your priorities.
Dear Readers, the global pandemic has been forced us all to rethink a lot of things. Many are questioning their professional choices and how their pursuit of a career has been very intrusive to personal goals or family life. Consequently, this blog suggests taking the day to reflect and explore what new horizons could be beneficial for you and your loved ones. In short, you want to use this day off to reassess whether you are living the life of purpose you’ve always wanted to live.
Step three: End Columbus Day with a good planning sesh.
Yes, Dear Readers, even on Columbus Day, you want to take time to plan for the week ahead. By getting into the habit of planning, you’ll avoid getting stuck in a rut. Understandably, Dear Readers, you have lost the pep in your step as the Delta variant turned upside down every aspect of our lives so soon after the second lengthy lockdown. So many of you have let us know that you are more anxious now than you were last year at the start of the pandemic. How can you possibly keep an eye on the big picture of your life when the media is continually bombarding you with heartbreaking statistics that remind you that your days on earth are perhaps dwindling faster than you think?!!
Consequently, this holiday ought to be a welcomed opportunity to refresh your weekly routines. And don’t forget to set an intention for the shortened 4-day week. By taking the time to clarify your intentions, Dear Readers, you will achieve peace of mind and feel more in control of the direction you want your life to take. Do you know a better way to get your life back on track on Columbus Day?
