It could even cripple the economy. It’s easy to stay focused on those calamities: they seem to be the only topics covered on local and national news . Obviously, there are things you need to know about the coronavirus outbreak to protect yourself and those around you, but you do not need to become a COVID-19 expert, nor do you need to hear about every unpleasant detail from morning to night . Instead, focus on the positive so that you have the energy and resolve needed to weather this storm.
Here are my 3 simple advises on How to Stay Positive in Negative Situations like Pandemic.
- Start your day with Gratitude - Gratitude is strongly associated with great happiness. Make it a habit to bring to mind the things you are grateful for everyday after waking up. Give thanks for having a brand new day to be good and do good. Appreciate the great support system you’re backed by. Feel blessed that you are healthy today as someone who has been battling the virus would love to live your life right now. Fill your mind with positivity and become a happy person.
- Limit your daily intake- Choose a single news source and decide how much time you will spend there each day. Then stick to your plan. People usually gets overwhelmed with all the stories all day long and procrastinate . Limit the intake and focus on the more positive things just like workout , meal prep, family time , hobbies etc.
- Take advantage of time- Instead of wasting your time worrying about what will happen , take the opportunity to focus on things you had no time for in the past. It can be a profiting course for your job or any hobby or anything you are interested in. Just Take advantage of time , it will never be like this again.
finish each day of you's with a positive acknowledgement of something you have accomplished, learned or are grateful for. It will help dilute some of the negativity you’ve absorbed and remind you that not everything that’s happening right now is bad or depressing.
I agree just being grateful for what you have does really help a lot. It has been such a trying time for everybody but we must remain positive.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward and planning little events have kept me positive. Like at the end of the week, I will plan to have fancy takeaway or go for a really nice walk, so I can just focus on that.
ReplyDeleteWhat I learned during these times to be grateful for the little things in life. That goes a long way!
ReplyDeleteSome great tips, I think we all need some positivity in our lives
ReplyDeleteI try to remember to stay grateful. We have a lot even if we are going through things we don't want to be going through and that is a reason for gratitude. I have family, good health for them and me, a place to live, etc. I am positive when I remember those very important things.
ReplyDeleteThese are all really useful tips -I agree with reducing intake, especially of things like social media and also having a gratitude diary
