What does perseverance mean to you? 

The Merriam -Webster dictionary defines it as: Continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition.

It’s really tough at the moment. We are all locked down in our houses; some might be feeling lonely; some are struggling with missing loved ones; and this is all on top of our usual struggles. 

At the moment it’s so hard to keep soldiering on. 

At the moment we need to find the activities that can help to make us feel stronger and more able to persevere. 

Here are some suggestions:

• Make a plan for your day
• Get moving – exercise!
• Eat delicious and healthy food
• Write a letter to a neighbour who may be lonely – even make it anonymous
• Write your life story
• Avoid too much alcohol/chocolate
• Have some sunlight daily
• Take time to practice gratitude.
