Hello LOH Community! Welcome to my blog. Today is the last working day of this week. While scrolling through different topics on Hive, I found one amazing topic by @ifarmgirl in this community. I love to express my ideas on following topic.
Changes are inevitable but sometimes we find it difficult to adapt to them. Was there a circumstance or a sudden change that impacted your life, routine, or lifestyle? How did you deal with it? Did you have a hard time? Please share the story.
In Pakistan, We are currently facing the worst summer season. These weather changes have affected everything. I belong to Lahore where we have a routine of late sleep and late woke up. Now we are regularly facing 46°C - 48°C temperature which is a challenging adaptation for us. This hot weather has forced me to change my schedule.
Although our government has announced Summer Vocations, it was not enough to handle everything. Being an Elder at home, I have to manage many things. My routine has been disturbed and stressful due to the following factors.
- New Academic Time
- Cooking Stress
- Cycling Shifting
New Academic Time Routine
In Winter, everything was running smoothly. In summer, I'm facing sudden changes in many things. The Academic Time has been changed due to vocations in Public Sector Educational Institutes. To compensate for study loss in my sibling's educational careers, I've supervised their ins and outs in the Academy. I not only provide them with pick and drop service but also have responsibility for their look after.
Due to immediate changes in my daily routine, I'm unable to do breakfast. My siblings and I bought snacks outside in the morning and we ate them together whenever they got breaks in their different lectures for brain relaxation.
Cooking Stress
As our routine changed in summer and the Chef had a different cooking schedule for us, hence my mother cooked our lunch. I always like to help her with the Kitchen. Thank God, You have blessed me with a mother who shares the burden of cooking with me. If I was alone then it was hardly possible for me because I felt a lot of fatigued body after the Pick-drop service.
Cycling Shifting
I love Cycling a lot. Usually, I love to take a ride on my cycle in the morning. As my weekly mornings are busy driving my car hence my Cycling routine is disturbed a lot. Now, I rarely have time for this hobby. If I'm lucky to have one hour of spare time for this then I enjoy cycling at night.
Strategies and Management
Having an elastic nature is a big blessing from God. I'm lucky and happy because I can adapt things according to my new routine. Although it had been tough for me in a couple of years I had learned how to adopt a new routine and new schedule. As I and my siblings were unable to do breakfast, I managed this issue by arranging white breads or Snacks for them. As I had to wake up early in the morning hence I slept early. I have started assisting my mother in the Kitchen as our chef is on summer leave. After parking my car in the field of my sibling's Academy, I completed my sleeping hours in my car. These few adaptations are really helpful for me and I'm struggling best in these tough situations. I hope we shall be back to our normal routine in the winger again. Being a helping Hand in my family, I always feel lupproudd proud of myself. This post is my entry for LOH Contest # 190, I hope you have enjoyed my today write-up. Thanks!
