Antonia and Faye chat about their Covid19 experience in quarantine .. the impact on their businesses, home life, the highs and the lows. Life has been a huge roller coaster and we hope this find you well. Here is  a little bit of light relief from it all where we chat about our journey over the last 36 years. Join us for a moment of happiness in a crisis during the Corona Covid19 virus pandemic. We chat about: Live meditations, fasting, social activities, focusing on what you can control , the rainbow of emotions, is failure ok ? , our new routines, life with teens , new experiences in quarantine The early days .. routine was important  .. we are not in the same boat LINKS Not doing anything in the lockdown .. you are not alone don't worry read more here Meditate with Faye each morning HERE KidooLand Online programmes learn English online with our qualified interactive English teachers from anywhere in the world distance learning TEFL EFL kidooland.online Russel Brand Gabor Maté interviews The science of wellbeing with YALE Free course How to fail Elizabeth Day PODCAST Hillary Mantel Hilary Mantel Lifeskills for teenagers LINK Learn a language Duolingo Figure 8 or get dancing Interior Design Course WE ARE NOT IN THE SAME BOAT ... I keep hearing that everyone is in the same boat. But it's really not like that. We are in the same storm yes, but we are not in the same boat. Your ship can be shipwrecked and mine cannot. Or vice versa. For some, quarantine is optimal and full of moments of reflection, of re connection and peace. Life is easy in flip flops, with a glass of Coke or or a cup of tea in hand. For others, this is a desperate crisis. For others it is facing real loneliness. For some it means peace, rest time and a bit of a holiday. For others, this is torture as they wonder how they are going to pay their bills? Others were concerned about the bread for the weekend and if the pasta will last for a few more days. Some were in their "home office" doing all they can to protect the company they work for and still do an honest days work from home. Others are looking through rubbish bins to survive. Some want to go back to work because they are running out of money.. Others want to kill those who break the quarantine. Some need to break the quarantine to stand in a queue at the supermarket. Others just really want to escape. Others criticize the government for the queue at the shop and for all the uncertainty. Some have faith in God and are patiently praying and waiting for miracles in 2020. Others say the worst is yet to come and that's probably our reality. So, friends, we are not in the same boat. We are going through a time when our perceptions and needs are completely different. And each one will emerge, in his/her own way, from that storm. Some with a tan from their pool. Others with scars on the soul. It is very important to see beyond what is seen at first glance. Not just looking, more than looking, actually seeing. See beyond the political party, beyond religion, beyond the nose on your face. Do not underestimate the pain of others if you do not feel it. Do not judge the good life of others, do not condemn the bad life of others. Just don't be a judge. Let us not judge the one who lacks, as well as the one who exceeds him. We are on different ships and all looking to survive. Let everyone navigate their route with respect, empathy and responsibility. Stop the judgement and be kind. Written by Nicki Peverett

Antonia and Faye chat about Joy Lists and New Adventures:     Joy lists are lists of things that you have done and enjoyed and would want to continue exploring, or things you want to do in the near future that might take you out of your comfort zone. Antonia and Faye share a few ideas that you can do or take inspiration from to add a bit of fun, perspective, and new interests to your life!  These can be small things you do such as taking the time out to appreciate the things around you, treat yourself to some well-deserved alone time at the cinema or even taking a break from social media. Another great idea would be to take on a detox or a “cleanse” from something that you might like but ultimately hinders on your health. This is your time to feel alive, so forget about societal pressure and let loose on new experiences, new hobbies, and new adventures!   Joy experiences we discuss include: Unbusy, Technology, Coffee for homeless, Cinema for one, CookingJulia childs Cleanse, Polar bear plunge, 24h silence, Satin sheets, Singing/music, Whitney Houston, Volunteering   About this podcast Topics discussed in this series include the positive mental shift from thinking of yourself as an empty nester to living the opportunities as an open nester; turning a middle age crisis into a reinvention; enjoying being an over 50, the peri and menopause, dealing with teenagers; grief; depression; loneliness; deepening relationships and making friends; finding new hobbies and past times, enjoying travel; setting up and running a business and much more. #southoffrance, #yoga, #kidooland, #stagesvacances, #positive #middleage, #emptynest, #findingyourway, #antonia, #faye, #mindset, #silversurfer, #menopause,   Article found on https://becomingunbusy.com/ Join the FYWWAAF Tribe and chat with others who are going through some of the same highs and lows as you in our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/findingyourwaywithantoniaandfaye/ The Finding your Way with Antonia and Faye podcast is sponsored by KidooLand The Little English School in the South of France www.kidooland.com and Yoga by Faye a Scaravelli based approach that is gentle but intensely powerful www.fayevillalba.com
