This is the first part of the Striving in Lockdown Series.
We are going to be focused throughout this series on what is going to help you strive and not dive whilst you are in lockdown. We want to have the approach that we are going to be moving forward rather than allowing what is occuring with Covid-19 hold us back.
It is very easy for us to be distracted right now;
we are not competing in our sportsome of us are no longer workingour school situation has changed from the classroom to the kitchen table, lounge room or bedroommany businesses have shut downpeople have lost loved oneseconomies are crumbling around the worldthere is talk of restrictions being removed and the fear of a second wavethere are fears whether we can recover from this financiallythere are fears whether we can recover from this mentallythere is no guarantee when life will get back to normal againthere is so much out in the world we don't knoweverything is so uncertainWhen the lockdown initially occurred we all went through some form of fear;
how long will this last?Our world as we knew it was turned upside down.
But time has gone on and some of us have been living with restrictions for 6 to 8 weeks already.
We have had to adapt to changes;
some people are ok with change (I find athletes cope better)some people are not ok and they really struggleOur lives as we knew it has been changed for the time being. It's tough mentally and it's tough emotionally.
We all cope with challenges differently.
If you are still at school your challenges will be different to your parents;
you are not competiting in your sportyou are socialising with your friends in the same wayyou are doing your schooling from home with your siblingsyou have to figure stuff out aloneyour training and your practicing in your sport has changedit's frustrating because you have no control over what is happening with the pandemicwhen you have no control - you experience frustration, anger and fear (whole array of emotions)Then there is your parents;
the fear of losing their job or businesshow are they going to support you and your siblingstrying to find worktrying to make ends meettrying to surviveWe will have our different levels of how we will survive.
However, I also want you to see this as a time of opportunity of growth for you.
