Occupation: Personal Trainer

​

As a creative, I’m sure a part of your role is to collaborate with others, how has the pandemic affected that?

​

This pandemic has actually helped me collaborate a lot more, since doing my Instagram lives, I’ve been able to join others to my Instagram live and also participated in other people’s Instagram lives. So it’s had a really positive effect.

​

Are you still able to work from home?

​

I am, I’m still able to do online coaching and 1:1 ft sessions.

​

A lot of creatives are finding this period hard as they are lacking motivation and routine, what routine do you have to make sure you stay motivated?

​

I have made sure I had a routine similar to the one I normally have every day. Making sure I have my workout every day, create content, making sure I do things that make me happen. Having scheduled lives every day definitely helps.

​

What does being motivated mean to you during these times?

​

Being motivated means to keep pursuing my purpose and doing things that make me happy. Still working towards my goals.

​

A lot of creatives are saying this is the time to start something new, learn a new language. But do you think this is also a time to relax and take some time for yourself?

​

100% a lot of people work 24/7 so it’s definitely a time to relax and take time to yourself as this opportunity will never come again.

​

What tips can you give people who are struggling with keeping motivated?

​

Find things you enjoy doing, try new things, start new projects, workout out, speak with friends.

​

What do you plan to do after lockdown?

​

Carry on building my Instagram and fitness page, build my online coaching and go back to being a personal trainer in my gym.

​

One quote to help you creatives during these times?

 

"Bad things never last forever, keep pursuing your purpose and don’t lose sight of your goal."
