There’s no question that we are experiencing a chaotic time right now, and many people are feeling overwhelmed by situations that are out of their control. We’ve heard so many concerns from people who are worried about COVID-19, about the financial toll it is already taking and what this means for the future. We’re all learning how to manage this new normal that, frankly, doesn’t feel normal at all.But don’t forget we are born to celebrate our life. Let’s practice these :-

1.Take time out for a little fun and self-congratulation. You deserve it!

Life gets busy for most of us as we juggle responsibilities and spend much of our time nurturing others. It is important that we each find the time to celebrate who we are, to honor ourselves for our efforts and triumphs, and to praise our resilience even during the hardest of times.

2. Write a gratitude letter—to yourself

Many of us have taken the time out to express our gratitude to others, but very few of us have really invested the energy in focusing on what we are grateful for in ourselves. Write a list or a letter highlighting all of the things about you that you’re grateful for. For example: the ability to juggle work and family, or that you have found a way to live within your means. Or maybe you are grateful that you’ve been eating and living in a healthier way since January.

Whatever it is, write it down! Later, if you are having a day where you are feeling particularly down on yourself, refer to that list to put some positivity back into your mind and mood.

3. Unleash your inner child

Reward yourself with a rare moment of instant gratification. Has there always been an activity you have been dying to try? Record your song if you are a good singer but dint get time since long. Indoor skydiving? Paintball? A ballet class? Plan it Try it online!

4. Have a “celebrate us” gathering

Get a group of friends together to celebrate each other and your friendship. Do zoom meetings as we are practising social distancing. Toast to the importance of close, wonderful relationships.

5. Give yourself the gift of extra time

Wake up a bit earlier or go to bed a bit later so you can have some extra time in the day just for you. Meditate , Practice Yoga , Drink a cup of coffee by yourself, Read a magazine or cuddle up on the couch and watch your favourite TV shows .

6. Give yourself a social media shout out

Hop on Facebook or Twitter and write a post that simply says something like, "I'm feeling great today, I hope you are, too," or "I'm having a great day today, I hope you are, too!" Your social media circle will love that you are feeling happy, (try some picture posting contest , some quiz on whatsapp etc) and they will appreciate that you're wishing good feelings on them as well.

7. Start a joyful ritual

Set aside time to take a Epsom salt bath, read your favorite books, or end your day with a scoop of your favorite ice cream.

8. Put some happy in your workspace

Find a gorgeous photo of a place you dream of going to and make it your wallpaper on your computer or smartphone. Start working on a plan to go there.

9. Listen up

Make yourself a "mixtape." Design a playlist for your iPod, phone or computer that is filled with songs that you love and that make you happy. Listen often.Your kids your biggest asset .listen to their innocent stories …just see the world in their eyes.

10. Document yourself

Get a new picture of you taken by your partner or kid with a great camera . It could be colorful, or arty and black and white. Smile—you’ll be glad later that you documented this moment in your life.

11. Be kind to yourself

Do to yourself as you might do for others. Make a concerted effort to be as attentive and giving to yourself as you would be to a boss, a customer, a child, a friend or a mate. Make your wants and needs a priority and focus.

12.Limit Your Exposure to the Media-

Idea is to choose “no news” hours or even days. No news on the wake up is a great way to start. Another way to deal with the barrage of depressing news is every time you see something in the media (even though you are trying to avoid it) and it upsets you, choose a calm word that will deflect your thinking about it and take you on another thought path. Words that make you feel happy or conjure memories. For ex., Disneyland. Better yet, plan that trip to Disneyland or Bora Bora in your mind. Even if you haven’t quite reached the budget needed for this getaway, visualize it and stockpile links to take you to your positive getaway spot(s).for this getaway, visualize it and stockpile links to take you to your positive getaway spot(s).

13. Take care of your EPM: Emotional, Physical and Mental Health

Carve out “me time” because self-care routines impact how you treat other people and how you handle the life’s challenges. Self-care is not selfish; it enables us to unwind, decompress, process the things we struggle with, and take a good hard look at the influences that drain us; this is an essential way to diminish anger, sadness, grief and disappointment and get us to our center core.

All things must pass this would too. So josh should be high friends ..Enough to do list now so howz the josh friends … write #high in comment box to show your high spirit at this crunch time.
