I want to start off by saying it is natural to feel worried and scared during such uncertain times.
Every morning that I wake up I feel like it's just a regular morning and I am ready to start my day. Only to quickly remember that it isn't just a regular morning, it is another morning of a global pandemic. Staying inside is now the norm, wearing masks and gloves when going outside is the norm, constantly washing my hands is now the norm and staying 6 feet apart from another person is now the norm. Every time we turn on the news there is more bad news about the pandemic. The number of people with Corona virus is rising my the minute and the number of fatalities also keeps rising. Not to mention, all the conspiracy theories that is all over the internet about what caused the Corona Virus. The global pandemic is always on my mind, and it is hard to focus on anything else. The world has changed within the blink of an eye. These are scary times that we live in; while it's natural to feel scared and worried we cannot allow this feelings to over power us.
Taking My Happiness Back!
I am tired of feeling beat down from the constant bad news that the media so happily reminded us about every second of the day. While I would like to stay informed about what is happening in the world, sometimes is all seems like too much information. How much is too much? My sanity is seriously at stake here, depression and anxiety is real, and I need to protect my mental health. I need to create a place of safety around me and protect my peace. I am ready to take my happiness back!
Unplug And Reset!
It is my responsibility to unplug and give myself some breathing room. I can only take the news in small doses, I tune in just enough to stay informed. Other than than that I have to unplug and do other positive activities. When I unplug for that period of time I am not watching the news or reading articles about the pandemic. I try not to get obsessed with the news because this can lead to paranoia. Life goes on and there are other things going on in my life besides the pandemic. Although, the Corona Virus is important it is only one aspect of my life not the entirety. My feelings and emotions are connected to whatever I make important in my life. When I unplug for a little while it help me to reset. I reset by writing, listening to music, reading, praying, spending time with family or by watching a movie. Resetting is a fresh start, when I have a fresh start I have enough emotional and mental strength to tune back into the news and current events. This is life for me during this global pandemic.
