Let’s look at each of these challenges and see what we all can do to decrease the effects of these stressors during this chaotic time. For people who easily feel the pain and strife of others, the stress of life during Covid-19 can cause many issues. 

We may experience symptoms such as:

Helplessness

Anxiety

Depression

Emotional stress

Nervousness

Unsettled feelings

Fear

Helplessness

We may experience a  sense of helplessness due to the intensity of the pandemic. What can we do to quell this concern? How about creating something for others? You can make face masks and give them to others. You can knit hats and items of comfort to help giveback to others. Posting your creations in an online group or website that supports free giveaways can help you give back in a meaningful way.  You can also send personalized cards, emails, and texts to those you care about to let them know that they are not alone.

Anxiety

Are you experiencing anxiety over the perception of loss and control in your life? Now is a great time to do a deep-dive into a place of self-awareness, or as I like to call it ‘Solitary Refinement.’ A great way to calm your anxiety and worry is to enroll in our Facilitated Treatment Support Program. You will learn easy and powerful techniques to bring about:  

• A sense of calmness and peace
• Healthy habits
• Self-awareness and trust in your abilities
• Improved communication with yourself and others
• Improved relationships
• Healthy boundary setting

Depression, Emotional Stress, Nervousness and Unsettled feelings

Unsettling feelings can stem from the media and news. Projecting too far ahead into the future can cause devastating emotional pain and concern. So, how do you stay in the present? As a part of the Facilitated Treatment Support Program, we teach mind-stillness exercises that allow you to bring stillness and peace into your daily life. By focusing on calming energy, you can quiet your mind and relax your body instantly. With a little practice, you will become adept at calming yourself easily.

FEAR 

This culprit that we often face during difficult times is fear.  Learning to befriend your fears can be a healing experience. With the proper guidance and support, you can discover effective ways to shine your light.
