The world we knew has changed in recent months. The simple things we once took for granted now seem to be out of our collective reach. In these uncertain times, it\u2019s understandable to feel scared, anxious and overwhelmed. With a 24-hour, bad-news cycle about the COVID-19 pandemic, it\u2019s increasingly important to seek light in what appears to be darkness. It’s essential<\/span> to self-reflect and discover our inner strength, as we try to find the positives among a sea of negativity. As the owner of MKS Jewellery<\/a> and artisanal tea company Steep<\/a>, I\u2019ve adopted a few uplifting practices that I\u2019d like to share with you all. So, if you\u2019re struggling to find your light, read on. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Make plans<\/span><\/h5>\n

If you run your own business like me, it\u2019s important to use this time to focus on it. Under regular circumstances, there are a million things to do on a daily basis, but this situation isn\u2019t normal at all. I\u2019ve been using this time to work on my upcoming and future collections, and a brand-new exciting initiative. It\u2019s important to stay busy and focused, especially in these difficult economic times. Even if you\u2019re only at the planning stages of your business, this is a great time to act on your ideas and make your dreams come true. Let your creative juices flow.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Stay positive<\/span><\/h5>\n

I know it\u2019s easier said than done, but maintaining a positive outlook is integral for your mental health. I\u2019m not saying ignore the bad news, but it\u2019s crucial to keep it in perspective and acknowledge that good things will come out of this crisis. Whether you\u2019ve started on that stack of books you promised you\u2019d read, returned the emails that had been sitting in your inbox, or learned a new skill, these are all fantastic achievements and you should be proud that you\u2019ve taken the time to accomplish them. The next step? Keep at it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Stay connected <\/span><\/h5>\n

As we reduce social interaction and keep away from gatherings during this time, it\u2019s more important than ever to virtually stay connected with friends and family. When you can\u2019t be physically together, there are other ways to bridge the gap. Of course, we can call and text, but being able to see them, even if it\u2019s only on a screen, is the next best thing. Video conferencing is a simple (and free) way to connect and maintain our relationships when we need them the most.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Make time for tea<\/span><\/h5>\n

Those of you who follow me on Instagram (@Mariamks<\/i><\/a>) will be more than aware of my love for chai haleeb, or milk tea. It\u2019s not just because I love drinking it, but also because it\u2019s a great opportunity for me to regain my sense of presence and mindfulness. My favorite time of the day to drink tea is late afternoon. It helps me to take time out to center myself and gather my thoughts, as I sip my freshly brewed cup of tea. I know what you\u2019re wondering, what\u2019s the secret to a great cup of chai haleeb? Well it\u2019s this… (but don\u2019t tell anyone).<\/span><\/p>\n
