The spread of the corona is changing our reality. The children have no frame, you spend more time with them at home and may be the partner too, it can be nice on the one hand, the whole family together, but between us, you can also go crazy. In routine life, too, you probably know the busy and busy days, but you can find that moment for yourself.

Now, when you spend many hours together at home, finding peace and quiet for yourself can be a real challenge. Jasmine Shurkey Norwegian, trainer, certified therapist and developmental mentor explains how to maintain sanity during this time.

Start the morning before everyone else

Even if you don't exactly sleep in succession at night and you get tired, make sure you get up 10 minutes before everyone else. Enjoy the moments when the house is still sleepy and nobody needs anything then. Have a leisurely coffee, get dressed without anyone getting hung up on it, when everyone gets up with you already in a different mood.

Eat healthy

You are used to making sure everyone eats all the meals, but it is important to pay attention to yourself too. So prepare nutritious dishes you love, and find (even if it is difficult) the moment to eat sitting and resting.

Prioritization of household chores

In the days when everyone is home and there are loads of dishes, laundry and cleaning - the mess celebrates and dirt with it. Do not overload yourself, choose what you focus on, and do chores with your spouse. You don't have to do everything, there are things you can put off for tomorrow so as not to get drained and exhausted by the end of the day.

Stop and watch for a moment from the outside

You go above and beyond these days, employing the children, preparing food, cleaning, caring and thinking ahead. So make an alert on the phone that reminds you to just stop, look at everything (including the mess) with joy and love, your children, and that is your pride.

End the day well and thank what is there

Wow, how many did you do in one day. Before you go to bed, take the hat off by yourself. Make a note of three things you thank, the neighbor who lent a game to the children to diversify their stay at home, their laughter and fun, the baby who managed to turn over alone, or anything else, even small, that happened today and cherish it. Even if it was difficult, the smile and joy of your home is what will charge you with new energy for tomorrow.
