What was the hardest thing you have faced during Covid-19?
Answers
♨️ The COVID-19 situation is particularly stressful because it’s hard to predict how things will develop, and our circumstances are changing rapidly. This can leave us feeling powerless, like we’re no longer in control of our own lives. As is the case in many aspects of our lives, there are things we can’t control in this situation. These include the actions and reactions of other people, how long the situation will last, and what might happen in the future.
♨️ Although these things might leave us feeling helpless, in reality there are still a lot of things we have power over in our lives, even during these trying times. Redirecting our energy towards these things will help us deal effectively with this situation.
Answer:
When you feel yourself getting caught up in fear of what might happen, try to shift your focus to things you can control. For example, you can’t control how severe the coronavirus outbreak is in your city or town, but you can take steps to reduce your own personal risk (and the risk you’ll unknowingly spread it to others), such as:
- • washing your hands frequently (for at least 20 seconds) with soap and water or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
- • avoiding touching your face (particularly your eyes, nose, and mouth).
- • staying home as much as possible, even if you don’t feel sick.
- • avoiding crowds and gatherings of 10 or more people.
- • avoiding all non-essential shopping and travel.
- • keeping 6 feet of distance between yourself and others when out.
- • getting plenty of sleep, which helps support your immune system.
- • following all recommendations from health authorities.
