You don't feel sick, you have no complaints, but you are really excited to see your friends and do fun things together. Are the corona measures getting into the doldrums for you too? These tips make it easier to stick to them.
Nor is it nothing. We have been dealing with the presence of corona in our country since February. And since mid-March, everyday life has started to look different for almost everyone. Do you also notice that you are loosening up a bit, while you do like to stick to the measures? Perhaps these tips and reminders will help.

At work and at the gym you can expect from the employer and/or the owner that walking routes have now been devised. That not everyone enters or leaves at the same time. And that – more than ever before – great attention is paid to hygiene. If you still work from home, you can already avoid a large part. But for everyone in the office or in front of the class it will still be a matter of having lunch in smaller groups for a while. And don't share office gossip near someone's right ear. Set up your environment in such a way that keeping your distance cannot be otherwise. Of course you can also do that if you still want to celebrate your birthday:remove a few chairs. Move some of your guests to the backyard. And plan an online party with family and friends who live further away.
Simple, but effective. Instead of that one bottle by your kitchen tap or that expensive, soothing soap in your bathroom, you can now place a supermarket pump at every tap in the house. In this way, every resident, guest or blackhead is encouraged to wash their hands without a threshold. Without having to look for soap first. Do you get people over? Ask them to wash their hands immediately upon arrival. And wipe doorknobs and chairs when they've left.
New behaviors demand quite a bit from us. And not everything will go right the first (or second) time. For example, you may never have sneezed into your elbow before. And don't wash your hands after shopping either. However, these measures do wear out after a while. And especially if you keep practicing. According to professor of social psychology Roos Vonk, 'the more often you do something, the easier it becomes'. And especially if you are going to do things at set times. Then it becomes part of your rhythm. That is of course less easy to plan with sneezing, the rest is better suited for that.
At the moment it is really the season to meet outside. That gives air, literally and figuratively. Bring a dress, visit a park and keep that one and a half meters away from each other. When you meet up more indoors with friends, acquaintances and colleagues (in short:people from outside your household), you can now start thinking about how to keep the groups smaller. Have a nice meeting with one or two of them, instead of all eight.
