“In the Japanese language there is a hieroglyph that means“crisis”and at the same time hidden opportunities,” I said on one positive breath. “Yes, what are the hidden possibilities,” - Denis, my client, answered me irritably. He closed his business, fired his employees. What will happen next is not clear …
Today, as a psychotherapist, I am faced with a massive exacerbation of psychological symptoms. Anxiety, depression, panic attacks … and this is just the beginning of the list.
The coronavirus is here.. the coronavirus is there… It all looks like a collective insanity.
Stop! enough.
Your anxiety level is fueled by external information and you feel like you can't handle it. From now on, your task will be to look for only positive facts about the epidemic. This should be one trusted source and you should not read it more than once a day.
Try to focus your attention on positive dynamics. Well, for example: when reading statistics, focus not on the number of victims, but on the fact that this figure is falling every day. And it really starts to fall all over the world. China did it - and we can do it.
The next point: the redistribution of energy. Today, you may not be as active as you used to be. An active lifestyle has become a homebody. That part of the energy that you used to spend on work, sports, meetings … now there is nowhere to put it (this, by the way, is also a factor in the growth of anxiety)
What will help:
1) Make a clear plan for the day, Try to keep it in the + - the old work schedule. If you don't have a job, create it for yourself (if you are reading this, then you have the Internet, and if you have the Internet, you have access to any information).
2) Physical activity: once a day you need to exhaust yourself. 1-2 hours of sports activity.
3) Protect yourself from unnecessary information: I was always surprised that there are a bunch of different diets for the body, and the fact that we are turning our brain into a dump does not bother anyone. Two points: meditation and informational diet (said above).
4) Transformation: you are in a unique time. Yes, it is unique. And your brain starts looking for new ways of development. Believe it or not, this is the only thing that pushes us towards development.
You can and should take advantage of the crisis. And this is your personal responsibility. Only you choose - grow or drown.
