Gretel<\/h4>\nAs we approach the mid-point of the circuit breaker, here’s a peek at how the rest of the WeBarre management team is rocking their time indoors!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Gretel<\/h4>\nThis period of isolation has been surprisingly busy! I initially didn\u2019t expect to be this occupied with work, but work is in part my happy place so it\u2019s all good! On the other end of the spectrum, I\u2019m actually happy to have a bit more time to slow down and spend time on my own, doing the things I like. I\u2019m the type who likes to stop and smell the roses, so this pace of life is pretty balanced at the moment. I\u2019m definitely getting more rest, which is awesome!<\/p>\n
It was really challenging when we transitioned to virtual classes. It was stressful re-learning how to teach, and grappling with technology and the new virtual platform. I\u2019m not super into technology so knowing my weakness, I knew I had to learn fast to adapt to the new norm. It\u2019s also been challenging not seeing my partner as often. Two months is a long time to not be hanging out!<\/p>\n
To stay grounded, I’ve been doing lots of yoga and taking online ballet classes. Concentrating on something draws my mind back to focus. Sweating it out is the solution to anything, and getting back to my creative and artistic side with dance always wins! I journal a lot as well \u2013 putting pen to paper helps me understand what I\u2019m feeling and why. I write letters to close friends as well, and the circuit breaker has been the best time to do this!<\/p>\n
At first, I wasn\u2019t sure how I would take to always being at home and being surrounded by people 24\/7. I\u2019m the sort who needs a lot of personal space in my everyday, but I realise that I\u2019m actually grateful to be in the company of family, and that we get to interact much more than in the norm. I still retreat to my woman cave though because that\u2019s how I recuperate.<\/p>\n

Sarah<\/h4>\nI\u2019m blessed to be safe, and I hope others are too. Although I\u2019m itching to get out and explore, it\u2019s so important to stay at home as much as possible now! With the mind and creativity in you, your home can be just the place to create lots of wonders and learnings- especially with the technology we have now.\u00a0Teaching online has been exciting, though scary at the start!<\/p>\n
My workouts have changed a lot as I still prefer going to the gym and studios. I feel I\u2019m able to focus better at the gym, or do a quick workout at a studio. Now I have to be more independent. So I\u2019m trying to train my mind to stay focused. Work and play is now all happening in the same space.<\/p>\n
I’m a very physical let’s-meet-up person, and not very inclined to texting on the phone, so it’s been challenging catching up with family and friends. Still, I’m trying to take the time to do my best to check in on them! I’ve also been listening to sermons, reading and setting goals – gotta keep the mind healthy and strong. Definitely also limiting the time I spend on Netflix!<\/p>\n
I’ve found that it’s so important to stay connected. It\u2019s so easy to feel lonely and constrained in the house, but remember you are not alone! This too shall pass.<\/p>\n

Pris<\/h4>\nI\u2019ve set actionable goals to work on so that I\u2019m making good use of my time, and so far it’s been pretty good. Everything else is pretty much the same except for teaching virtual classes. I have to set a space in my house and make that as my space to teach. It\u2019s like travelling to work from my room to the living room!<\/p>\n
Still, it’s been a little tough finding balance between work and time for myself. When we have too many tasks on hand, it\u2019s easy to over-work. I believe that balance is important in everything that we do. Me-time is especially important for our mental health – to have the headspace to check-in with ourselves at least once a day. To do so, I start my day with a simple 20-minute meditation.<\/p>\n
I’m also trying to read more and educate myself, and have signed up for online courses to learn new business skills and invest in personal growth. Plus, I’m staying connected with my friends to keep each other\u2019s company. I\u2019ve learned that life is precious and we should think deeper into our existence on earth. This isolation has really taught me to embrace this motto: take what you need and share what you have!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
