Hang in There - We’ll Get Through This
Things are really strange at the moment with this current pandemic, and we’d like to spread a little positivity to you all at this challenging time…
There are many words that could be used to describe 2020, although this has probably already been covered. Covid-19 is of course the talk of the town. It’s a considerably overwhelming situation for the UK in this current moment and in light of that, there is a lot of negativity and toxicity in the air (literally). We want to take you away from that.
Something that is always taught to us is to keep positive and look on the bright side, simply put. Every cloud has a silver lining, doesn’t it? We totally understand that it may be difficult right now to look on the bright side when your lives have been impacted in such a way. But we want to give it a go, and we want to help you to aswell.
Firstly, it’s important to take a deep breath, maybe a few more if needed, and let yourself feel whatever you need to feel. It’s ok to be overwhelmed. Stressed. Anxious. Sad. Lonely. Accept those feelings. But whatever you do, don’t let them consume you. We are all in this together, and it’s important that we get through this as a team. Feel a little more at ease knowing you are not alone.
Let’s look at it like this. All storms must end, and yes this is one large, nasty, stubborn storm that has messed with our lives in more ways than we can imagine, but it WILL end. One thing we all need to hold on to right now is hope; hope that this pandemic will be over sooner rather than later, and take the right measures in helping that to happen. You must have heard the advice. Take it and look forward to better days which WILL come, and when they do, the world will be a better place.
Picture this. It's this time next year, you're soaking up the sun in your favourite travel hotspot with a tropical cocktail and a view of the scenic sea, looking back at this strange time with laughter and a face palm. Time goes fast as we’ve all learnt over and over, so before you know it the current pandemic will have disappeared and you’ll be living life to the fullest.
It’s the little things in life that make such an impact, and this relates even more so now. When you’re feeling bleak, picture yourself appreciating these little things once this madness is all over. A family picnic underneath the golden summer sun, a warm embrace from a parent, a coffee catch up with a good friend. Anything that makes you smile. Hold on to this and take each day as it comes. Take care of yourself first and foremost, and keep in touch with loved ones - hearing their voices over the phone or seeing them on video will help get you through this tough time.
It’s important to keep yourself distracted throughout this pandemic. How many times have you wished that you had time to do the things you need or want to do like cupboard clear outs, taking up a hobby, me-time, reading that book that’s been sitting in your draw, decluttering your household or simply just having a day to do nothing but sit on the sofa and watch some crappy telly? Well, here’s the perfect opportunity! You’ve been given the chance to really take a breather whilst the world is temporarily put on pause.
Finally, we hope from the bottom of our hearts that you and your families are safe and healthy. Remember we’re all in this together, you just need to hang in there, and when the time is right, we hope to hear from you regarding booking a holiday as let’s face it, we’re all going to need one after this and will rightly deserve one!!
Warm Regards,
Brightsun Travel
