When I got covid I was unable to do a lot of work or exercise but after the 2 weeks, I realized the importance of getting back in some way. While I have been advised to take it slow for a couple of months, a slow walk is perfectly ok and I have been taking advantage of that (L01). From my time in India to now in Sri Lanka I have continued my 30 – 60 min walks. These walks have really helped me both mentally and physically because after being cooped up in a room for 14 days you start considering the importance of the nature you find around you (LO5).

The last couple of days in Sri Lanka have been really beautiful because of the sudden short downpours of rain now and again that leave a really cool breeze in the environment. We also got a couple of wellness blocks to get outdoors or get involved in some activity instead of sitting in front of the screen. During those blocks while for some of them I went out onto the walking path around my house for the others I started doing a bit of yoga. Since I had not been doing yoga for over a month I started of with some simple stretching and breathing asanas that were not only a good way to get a little active but also at the same time become mindful (LO1).
