Partly, it\u2019s due to nearing the end of the year. This change of season tiredness. But most likely we feel the Covid19 tiredness even more. Yes, there seems to be a heavy mental shift in the air, no matter where you live.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But I wonder what more is behind this extra tiredness, behind this \u201cCorona tiredness\u201d? Does it as well have to do with the (at times subconscious) realization that we move from the adjusting- to the adapting phase? And the realization that adapting usually brings with it a bigger change? Something unknown?<\/p>\n<p><i>After all, <\/i><b><i>adjusting<\/i><\/b><i> it\u2019s more about minor changes and becoming used to a new situation. Whereas<\/i><b><i> adapting<\/i><\/b><i> is about major changes, with a much bigger impact to our life.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>And that we are able to adjust, well <strong><i>that <\/i><\/strong>we have proven with all the sudden changes and the back and forth over the past months. Yes, we had to make adjustments with homeschooling, home office, lockdowns, mask wearing, social distancing, no travels, no catch up, no lunches, no coffees, no dinners out, no meeting of family nor friends, feeling fear, sadness, anxiety, facing health concerns and so much more. At times over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>But I don\u2019t think that I\u2019m alone when I write that I thought that all this would be more temporarily lived, or? After all, we were all talking about \u201cgoing back to normal\u201d soon-ish.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So now, 8-plus months further it\u2019s clear that the situation is with us to stay. And talking to others, observing myself and my family, I think it\u2019s this stepping away of hoping for it all to go away, and this honest admitting that life has changed indeed which is causing the additional trigger for the now happening <em>mental and emotional tiredness.<\/em><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The \u201cwait and see\u201d is over<\/h3>\n<p>In some ways the changes might be minor, in other ways huge, tremendous. But no matter what, we can\u2019t avoid it &#8211; a change is there and life <em>will<\/em> be different.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Then add all the other stressors we might be exposed to at the moment (climate, political unrests, family issues, health issues, you might have to move, job insecurity, etc)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span>and we don\u2019t really have to wonder why we fell that drained, do we?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>No, I haven\u2019t figured it all out.<\/h3>\n<p>I am still struggling myself at times.<\/p>\n<p>I feel lost, anxious and overwhelmed.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span>I find my footage and routine.<br \/>\nI lose myself.<br \/>\nI feel motivated and energized.<br \/>\nI feel tired and oh so exhausted.<br \/>\nI crash and start again.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes over the course of a week, sometimes over the course of a day.<br \/>\nBut I realized that I stopped thinking about \u201cthe old normal\u201d more and more. And instead, I try to focus on<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>what has changed<\/li>\n<li>what was good<\/li>\n<li>what worked<\/li>\n<li>what am I able to keep on doing<\/li>\n<li>what can I build on<\/li>\n<li>what is relevant<\/li>\n<li>what can I do <em>now<\/em> to feel more at ease<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li>what can I do <em>now<\/em> that will help us as we keep going forward into the more unknown?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And what stresses me out, what can I reduce or even avoid?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>What is there that I can let go, do less off?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>At the same time I learned to look at things differently, I try to get away from the\u201cfixed\u201d planning to not get disappointed and too stressed again. After all, we never know anymore, do we? We all experienced short notices changes and restrictions. And I believe we will be challenged to remain flexible and adjustable and patient as we keep going.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a big acceptance to acknowledge that life as we know it has changed drastically, for now, for longer, perhaps forever. And with that realization and acceptance comes a major change within ourself.<\/p>\n<p>So yes, I still feel the exhaustion but it\u2019s getting less powerful and more short lived.&nbsp;It felt to me that the comparing to the \u201cold\u201d pushed me down. Instead I started to get some sort of curiosity, if not even some kind of excitement, a different perspective into this &#8220;new and different&#8221; that is around us all.<\/p>\n<p>While we have no control about what is happening with Covid19 and how each country is handling it, we still have<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>control on how we chose to react<\/li>\n<li>control on how we chose to behave<\/li>\n<li>control on how we get through the day, day by day<\/li>\n<li>control on how we decide to take care about ourself and near and dear ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Scared, terrified, anxious, exhausted, overwhelmed, lonely, lost\u2026? No, you aren\u2019t alone feeling all this and more!<\/p>\n<h3>So, what can we do<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s certainly not the same for each one of us but here are some thoughts and actions that helped me and others I spoke to especially in moments of overwhelm. Such as<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>relax time, reading, music, art<\/li>\n<li>meditation<\/li>\n<li>a bath, a hot shower<\/li>\n<li>a good cry<\/li>\n<li>limit the news intake (!)<\/li>\n<li>don\u2019t give in to rumours<\/li>\n<li>make sure to eat healthy(er)<br \/>\nI still enjoy junk food and sweets and a drink, but all balanced &#8211; most of the times. After all, some days&#8230;they&nbsp;just ask for a bit unhealthier food to soothe the soul.<\/li>\n<li>go outside into nature (if you can) and breathe fresh air. Open the window, step onto the balcony or terrace.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li>be active, keep moving &#8211; but listen to your body, don\u2019t overdo.<br \/>\nSometimes we have the desire and energy to push, sometimes a simple walk or slow Yoga session is what we need.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li>connect with friends.<br \/>\nSome need it more than others, so listen to yourself how often you want to connect. But don\u2019t become a hermit! (I noticed that I can easily fall into that, but once I reached out others it is so energizing. Yes it can take effort to do so, but it does help!)<\/li>\n<li>be curious &#8211; try something new, a course, a book, a hobby, arts and craft<\/li>\n<li>light up candles, buy some flowers and make it cozy at your home<\/li>\n<li>spread a nice scent with essential oils<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li>sit and just be<br \/>\nObserve the clouds, listen to the birds, hear the wind in the trees, feel the ground under your bare feet&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whatever you chose to do, take is slow, don\u2019t overdo things. You don\u2019t want to add additional pressure onto your shoulders, you want to release the stress!<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not all. I think, overall we need to learn to be kinder and show more understanding and compassion towards ourself. After all, literally nobody ever experienced what we all do.&nbsp;We need to rethink and in fact learn a new way on how we approach life in general. And yes that is scary!<\/p>\n<p>So, in moments of overwhelm, when it\u2019s all closing in on you\u2026try to just focus on this 1 (one) thing you can do just then to be just this 1% more relaxed, grounded and at ease, to feel little bit happier, joyful and energized, peaceful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The more we fight against it all the tougher it will feel, we need to learn and accept to be with what is.<br \/>\nAnd please &#8211; for all of us &#8211; please wear a mask!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you are doing well and safe and that you find your ease amongst all this!<br \/>\nDo you think adapting is an underlying reason for the mental tiredness, too?<\/p>\n<p>Yours, AK<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the days go on a lot of us feel the additional tiredness creeping in.

I spend more than 16 years overseas and currently call Muscat, Oman home. Over the years I got inspired to support and guide others who feel a bit lost or overwhelmed, especially when living abroad. I do that with this blog, local small-sized Yoga \/ fitness classes, meditation and coaching. No matter how I connect, it's all set up to bring a sense of ease to the reader, participant or client. After all, life is kind of a rollercoaster ride and pushes us around. And whether you move around or not it can feel overwhelming at times, no? A bit more about myself - I have three kids that keep me busy and on my toes. I love to meet and exchange thoughts and experiences with others across the globe. And Yoga, cardio workouts and meditation are my go-to to keep (and at times find) my own ease I hope you find this page a source of inspiration to feel relaxed and inspired - or simply put \"at ease\"!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/expatease","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/expat_ease\/?hl=en"]}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/findingyourease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/thumbnail_20201118_130501.jpg?fit=960%2C1280&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8ZGLH-2vL","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9657"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9657\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12120,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9657\/revisions\/12120"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9663"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
