Quote No.62 from Encourage Yourself Encourage Others by Anne Devine.
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way”….Victor E.Frankl, “Man’s Search For Meaning.”
“Remember that you are not a victim.” What attitude do you choose today?

Quote No.80 from Encourage Yourself Encourage Others by Anne Devine.
Now that we have more time on our hands, share it freely but think before you unwittingly create a new unspoken contract. It may or may not be easy for you to move on after lockdown if you’ve developed a binding contract!

Come join us. To read the backstory The Power is yours… Quote No.99 “Encourage Yourself Encourage Others”
Quote No 95
Little did we think a few short weeks ago that we would be trying to accept the reality of Corona Virus. This new reality may well mean you are not fuming in a traffic jam but you may be feeling frightened, lonely and isolated or indeed feeling over-whelmed by being in too close quarters with loved ones. Whatever the reason for your stress levels remember Anne’s words, remind yourself often and just know “When the time is right you’ll be ready to move on!”
Together we can do this!

Do you see the darkness when you look at this photo or do you see the light?
Do you see people panic buying and paralysed by the unprecedented changes to our daily lives caused by Covid19?
Or do you see ordinary people doing extra-ordinary things to reach out and support one another, in ways not seen before?
This is an opportunity to change our focus,
From
‘What about me?’
to
‘What can I do for you? And then realising, what that just did for me!’
We can all do something with the time we are being given!
What are you doing?
I’m working from home, at least until the 29th of March. After that the future is unclear but that doesn’t matter because we only have to focus on this, one day at a time!
I never thought supporting others with their literacy development by phone, e-mail and online could be so fulfilling. I’m finding myself present in somebody’s isolation. I’m a voice and a listening ear. I’m having conversations about the fear this virus is causing. And in the same conversation I’m talking about the power of being connected to each other and its positive impact on mental well-being. I’m highlighting the importance of distraction and the opportunity to set small learning goals…
Like
Taking a break from news updates
and overwhelming media stories,
To
Setting a goal for this morning
And one more for tonight,
Like
Reading something you enjoy,
Then
Writing the paragraph you just read,
And then selecting two spellings
Breaking them into syllables such as
Information….
In / for / ma / tion
Or
Situation…
Sit / u / a / tion
Then with a sense of satisfaction and achievement,
sitting back and reminding yourself
that we are resilient
And each one of us is capable of great things!
What do you think? Is there darkness or light?
Do you have a goal in mind to help others?
What do you think it will do for you?
