In this particular moment it is more important than ever to keep a positive attitude without forgetting the general rules and the solidarity between each others, here you have a few suggestions:
– Follow the official and scientific instructions
– If you are working from home, find your ideal workspace
– Set a routine and plan your day
-Stay in contact with your friends and learn how to disconnect to gain some time for yourself
– Ask your neighbours or your friends if they need help or just call them…in these days a call can make the difference.
– Keep an eye on possible solidarity actions, for exemple buying groceries
– Send little gifts or letters to the eldery residences homes of Brussels, check here for the info (in FR and NL)
