Easter has come and gone.\u00a0 The sun shone brightly for a couple of days and this may have lifted our spirits even though we couldn\u2019t go out and enjoy it as we would really like.\u00a0 Hopefully, while acting in line with the Government\u2019s rules, we were able to get some sun on our skin to boost our Vitamin D levels.\u00a0 Research tells us that this may help with our immunity and with our sense of wellbeing.<\/p>\n
Now it is a new working week and it is cold and grey.\u00a0 It\u2019s possible we can feel our resilience being tested again, maybe even slipping away from us.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s important to acknowledge that these are difficult times and all of us are going to feel mentally and emotionally fragile.\u00a0 This might only happen occasionally or some of us could be finding it happening more often.\u00a0 And we might be more aware that it is affecting those we have contact with, judging by how they are displaying their emotions.<\/p>\n
Kindness is something we can all still demonstrate and appreciate in the current situation.\u00a0 Whether it is the extreme kindness of medical workers, care givers or charity workers or the simple things you see members of your family, friends or work colleagues doing, it can inspire us and make us feel better.\u00a0 It can help to bolster our mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n
Try checking out the Kindness UK<\/a> website to learn more about how practising kindness is such a positive thing.\u00a0 Or have a look at this article on kindness from Psychology Today<\/a><\/p>\n Wellness Wednesday is part of Kent Sport\u2019s\u00a0 #KentSportStayWellAtHome series of daily blogs and vlogs to keep you positive during these unusual times.
