Explaining the Pandemic Period with death tolls consisting only of mathematical calculations may cause us to be a little unfair to this process. During this period, we include a child who thinks he lost his friend because he could not go to school, a teenager who perceives the world as unsafe due to excessive exposure to breaking news, an adult who is taught to be brave by being responsible like a target, and our elders who are 65 years old and over, who have experienced the deaths of their friends or relatives in the same age range. We should also be able to place their testimony. So what is the common theme of these examples? Search for Balance...
Even though the flow rate of life is not the same in every body, people feel the need to think about a balanced life. We may notice this search for balance while moving from one room to another in our home during the day, or we may experience it when we get bored of a movie we are watching on TV and reach for the remote control to switch to another channel. Since we can normalize these changes in our daily lives, the emotional changes that occur do not drag us into a crisis search for balance. It is a fact that we are just at the beginning of the process of normalizing it, and when we think about the Covid19 epidemic, we perceive that it is one of the important crises in human history... Another fact is that humans naturally respond automatically to events that they perceive as dangerous, uncertain or difficult... That is why our brain perceives it as a crisis. Our emotions wait to motivate and take immediate action against every event. By making the crisis the heart of the body..
We can evaluate this situation in two ways. The first of these is that our fears of contracting the Coronavirus can help us take precautions for our health. Here we can start by testing our mental strength in order to direct our thinking skills. Such a test may facilitate our faster transition to actions that increase the resistance of our biological system (such as sports, balanced nutrition). However, keeping our brains active in the search for balance can also help us feel more alive. At this point, as our minds work, our emotions waiting next to us begin to interact with our behavior. It can be said that it directs the This system can also open the door to new experiences in a person. The development of the "Theory of Gravity" during the days when Newton stayed at home during the plague epidemic in 1665 must be a good example of the activated brain...
In the second case, the person struggling with fear experiences this feeling. As long as he perceives it as "undesirable", it may cause him to focus more on himself and feel more fear. Here, we can compare the ever-increasing fear in ourselves to the waters behind a dam. As the person tries to prevent the smells, like a dam in front of the water, the fear actually increases and reinforces the belief that there is a disease that continues to flow. Before labeling our feeling of fear as "bad" at this point, it is useful to turn to ourselves and encourage us to meet the basic needs underlying this feeling. The first question we ask ourselves on the route from our thoughts to our expression is "How many times in my life so far have I seen that the feeling I experienced lasted permanently?"
WELL AFTER
-
What do I do with this feeling I feel right now?
-
I am realistic about carrying this feeling with me in my life. Do I have unrealistic expectations or exhibit excessively demanding behavior towards myself and my environment?
-
Do I exaggerate or suppress this feeling?
-
Am I the only one feeling this feeling?
-
Does this feeling lead me to behaviors that have no function in my life?
Our emotions are a cycle that empties as it fills and fills as it empties, like breathing. Hoping to remind ourselves that all our emotions, whether positive or negative, have a role in our efforts to continue our lives...
