Personally, there are areas in our lives that we cannot and will not control. We cannot individually control the epidemic rate of the coronavirus. We cannot control the negative, unfounded news shared in the media. Sharing these, talking about them, getting lost in them is one of our obstacles. The atmosphere of panic may grow, and we may be exposed to greater fluctuations in this. Our friend, family member, or someone who panics more than us may trigger us. Nowadays, the digital world is both poison and antidote. Our biggest resource here is; To see and understand our thoughts, emotions, physical reactions, whether we can control them or not, and to act accordingly. The better we can manage our own fitness as individuals, the more beneficial we can be to our family, our environment and society. None of us know exactly what kind of transformation awaits us internally and externally after the epidemic is taken under control and we return to our normal lives, but we will see it by experiencing it together. It is clear that everything will not be reset at once, some traces and effects will remain. In fact, the effects that will remain will not only be limited to us, but will probably continue in deep layers that will be passed on to future generations.
I can make the following suggestions to cope with stress and anxiety these days; We need to have a good sleep, a good diet, need enough water, stay away from unhealthy habits and pay attention to other precautions recommended by experts. We can use different ways to express them emotionally in a healthy way without ignoring them. Let's write about our feelings for 10 minutes or 2 pages every day, as we feel like. Keeping a diary and writing down feelings and thoughts creates a therapeutic effect. It should not be forgotten that there is a neurological connection between our hands and our brain. Expressing through art and music can also be a method. In short, let's just let them flow.
Let's plan a few activities that we think will be good for us every day. Reading books, walking outdoors if possible, meditating, taking short naps, singing, drawing, doing puzzles, mandalas, taking a shower, and taking online training on topics that interest us. Let's add such activities to our lives, even if it is short. social distancing It came into our lives and if it lasts for a long time, it will not be good for us. In this respect, making phone calls, communicating, and talking about positive things with the people we love will be important for our spiritual fitness.
The criterion we should always keep in mind is to what extent our quality of daily life and functionality is affected or not affected. If you are experiencing intense reluctance and lack of energy about life, then it would be useful to take these symptoms seriously and seek professional help.
