The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about change across the board
in our lives: from jobs, to relationships, financial stability and health.
“Usually we are trying to just deal with changing one area of our life. The
anxiety and the pressure that we feel from changes is heightened right now and
getting bigger than ever before.
Considering that we can’t change the global uncertainty or
what’s happening, we can change the personal reaction towards this uncertainty
by what we can do in a day. Some of things which we can follow in our
day-to-day routines.
Thankfulness: Take
a moment to be thankful or grateful for a person or place in your life. For
example, you could give thanks for old memories from a trip you took, or a time
when your family visited you.
“There is so much greatness in our life that our mind tricks us
into forgetting,”
Insight: “When you feel
like your problems are growing, the only way that you can overcome them is when
you feel you’re growing at the same time. Read something enriching, dabble in a
hobby or learn a small new skill each day.
Now you feel better equipped to deal with whatever problem
you’re going through.
Meditation: Finding
moments of peace right now can be a challenge right now, but meditation is one
of the best things you can do.
If we can have a moment of peace, then we get clarity about how
to conduct the rest of on days. If you’re new to meditation, Start with an
exercise called “box breathing.”
To do it, sit somewhere in your home where you feel the most
comfortable and calm. “Breathe in for a count of four, hold for a count of four
and breathe out for a count of four Continue this for a few minutes.
Most of our stress and anxiety comes when our body and breath aren’t
aligned. This is one way that you can “create a relaxed breathing pattern.”
Exercise: A little
movement every day is going to boost your mood, whether you’re working out,
running up the stairs in your home or having an at-home dance party, find some
way to incorporate exercise.
Let
yourself get distracted
Staying productive and motivated while working from home can be
a challenge for some people. The reality is that you’re going to feel
distracted sometimes.
When you feel your mind wander, you can take a break for a set
amount of time, then get back to work. A kitchen timer or an alarm on your
phone will also work.
“It just makes it more fun. Rather than seeing distraction as a
bad thing, you can see it as a little reward or a break.”
Tap
into your senses
To Stay optimistic focusing on you your senses is one easy way
to stay positive in the face of a pandemic.
First, find something to look at everyday that brings you joy.
For example, it could be a piece of art in your home, or a funny video from a
past memory.
“Organizing your photo gallery is a great tip for that, because
you find things that you forgot actually happened.
Then, indulge in a scent that you find calming. For some people,
that might be a lavender candle or a bundle of eucalyptus branches. Others
might prefer the smell of baked goods.
“Scent has a certain power over us. Even though you’re at home,
smells can transform your surroundings and the way you feel.
Finally, make sure your soundtrack is soothing. “If you’re
listening to the news, that’s going to have an impact on your mood.
Make a playlist of your favorite songs that make you happy, or
listen to nature sounds on YouTube. Even listening to a comedy album could give
you a boost.
