Navigating Through Covid- 19 Crisis Purposefully

We believe in being there post this pandemic! The BIG question is: How shall you be? How will it have changed you or your life? Is there a way to guard yourself from extreme negative impact on your life? I hereby recommend:

7 Basic Behaviours & Habits of Navigating Through Covid- 19

1. Take care of your mental health.

Consciously manage the anxieties, fears and negative feelings. Do not over think …and remember, life has always been uncertain! It is your responsibility to take care of yourself through self love & self care.

2. Be objectively positive.

Try looking at your life in a new & bold perspective that brings assurance rather than defeat, hope rather than discouragement, comfort and calm rather than discomfort. Try picking up every positive thing around you. It means much now.

3. Manage your resources well.

This will help you avoid unnecessary financially related worries . If you are in lack and in need, PLEASE speak out. Remember, its not always how much you have but how best you use it…make your little your much.

4. Keep busy & manage your time well.

A hard call indeed but try. Be in action. You may not be going to work or you working from home, just avoid unnecessary idle time. Read! Write! Explore new ideas. Realize quickly that now you have time but you must cultivate commitment.

5. Reflect & meditate on your life.

So much noise has been there since you were born. You may have never examined your life deeply by asking the hard questions that your mind turns away from, fearing to face reality. Ask them today – unmask yNavigating Through Covid- 19ourself. Think about who you have been…and what you can do to be better! Recreate yourself.

6. Remain calm, determined & of good courage.

What a favourable time to give up on yourself? Your family? Your job? Your education? Refuse discouragement. Refuse to give up or give in. Stand firm & guard your values and principles. The storm is not bigger than your God. Nothing defeats him.

7. Keep your relationships & networks.

When all are worried & social distance is limiting movement, it is easy to forget that relative, that friend, that colleague, that boss, that client, that soulmate…Do not cut the links. Keep in touch when you can…even if its a call, an SMS , a WhatsApp… Be in touch. We will need each other after this ( or in this).

May you find peace, strength and comfort to remain steadfast in this time.

Remember, Better Light a Candle than Curse Darkness. Nothing defeats the Lord. I beseech you to guard your faith.
