This is way overdue, but today I’ve woken up inspired. I’ve missed writing and I honestly think this work wonders for my mental health. I may have got inspired by the rain that hasn’t stop falling for the past 24h, making this a super cosy autumny Saturday ❤
I’ve just installed Lightroom and had a little play around to revamped the blog to make it a bit more warm, what do you think?
A lot has happened since the last time I’ve been around here, but then at the same time, nothing much (’cause you know… corona…). Talking about the elephant in the room, there’s a lot of happy thoughts in my mind that I’d like to open up about and share with you. If it helps brighten your day – I’ve achieved my mission.
These are definitely weird times we’re going through but after living it for the past 6 months (half a year, wow) I can say that I try to look at the positives as much as I can.
Before working from home, I’d never step outside for a walk (unless it was the weekend). I’ve been doing this quite frequently now, either with him or with the company of one of my favourite podcasts. When I get home, not only I feel accomplished but I also feel this is a part of my mindfulness routine. It helps me relax.
If I don’t fancy a home workout before my shift starts, I wake up 30min before work. If I had to commute, I had to wake up at 6:45 am rather than 8:30 am. Winning!
I’ve been spending all my awake time in his company, which it has been challenging but we’re here talking about positives – and I’m not gonna lie that I love the little breaks we take during the day.
Last but not least, I’ve been appreciating the time with my friends and family (when I eventually go and get to see my family) way more than before all of this. I always try to get the most of our social gatherings as they’re so rare these days ❤
I hope this brings you some joy and help you focus on what good is coming out of all of this. Stay safe and have a lovely weekend 🙂

Isto já vem com algum atraso, mas hoje acordei inspirada. Já tinha saudades de escrever e para ser sincera acho que faz bem à minha sanidade mental. Se calhar a minha inspiração veio do dia de outono perfeito – a chuva cai há 24horas ❤
Acabei de instalar o Lightroom e andei aqui a brincar para dar um look mais de outono ao blog, o que acham?
Já se passou bastante desde a última vez que escrevi, mas também verdade seja dita que não se passou nada demais (obrigadinha coronavirus). Por falar nisso, tenho muitas ideias positivas que gostava de partilhar com vocês. Se vos trouxer um bocadinho de luz ao fundo do túnel – já cumpri a minha missão.
Obviamente que o que estamos a viver é um momento estranho, anormal. Mas posso dizer que depois de 6 meses em casa (wow, meio ano já) tento mais que nunca pensar nos pontos positivos.
Antes de trabalhar de casa, eu raramente fazia caminhadas a não ser ao fim-de-semana. Agora tenho andado a pé frequentemente, seja com ele ou com a companhia dum podcast. Quando chego a casa não só me sinto realizada como também sinto que isto é bom para a cabeça, para desanuviar. Ajuda-me a relaxar.
Se não me apetece fazer um workout antes do meu turno começar, eu acordo literalmente 30 minutos antes de começar a trabalhar. Se tivesse que ir para o trabalho, teria que acordar às 6:30 em vez das 8:30 – pontos positivos!
Tenho passado o meu tempo todo na companhia dele, que tem sido desafiante em tempos, mas estamos aqui para falar dos positivos e eu não vou negar que adoro os nossos intervalinhos juntos.
Por último, tenho apreciado cada vez mais os encontros com os meus amigos e família (quando eventualmente consigo visitá-los) muito mais do que antes disto tudo. Tento sempre tirar o máximo do nosso tempo juntos já que é tudo tão raro ❤
Espero que isto vos tenha trazido algum alento e vos ajude a focar no melhor que podemos tirar desta situação. Mantenham-se seguros e tenham um bom fim-de-semana 🙂

100% I felt like a burrito rolled in a blanket all weekend and felt so good. BUT, it rained for 4 days straight, I’m happier to see drier days now. 🙂 Thanks for your comment, Selma.

I like it so much that you manage to find little good things even in this time 🙂 It does us good to try find the positives even in the most negative circumstances!
