In a challenging time, fear can cause a feeling that you are going to lose the things that are most important to you. In the internet meme that the world fear means ‘’ false evidence appearing real’’ is a really nice thought, but in our present situation, there is a real and present danger, the one we are working to be able to vanish it.
A Virus that begins in one country and can jump on the other side of the world, across the largest boundaries, the oceans, is a serious thing to be concern about. Viruses use us as hosts, preying on our need to be close to others of our kind, finding a way to replicate itself and infect others in just a second.
There are, however many things you are not going to lose during the global emergency. This list makes you remember, what you need to retain, even though some will require considerable effort as we face our global crisis.
Your relationships:
You are not going to lose the lifetime of relationships you have built and constructed over a lifetime. On the other hand, you are going to have your family, your friends, your clients, and your partners. They will be thrilled to have you there and you will be here to help each other.
Your attitude
It’s natural to be afraid, feel fear and doubt. But still, the key is to keep a positive, optimistic, future-oriented and empowered attitude and belief in the system. There is nothing to gain by being pessimistic, especially when you need to take action. Keeping the vibes positive, it helps you mentally to handle the crisis. Even though it’s not going to be easy all the time.
Your knowledge
Honestly, it has been a very long time since I heard someone saying, ‘’No one can take your education from you. ’But it’s true. And the best part is that now there is plenty of time to spend in the house, you can focus on educating yourself and gain a new diploma for example! The Internet is full of different online courses with certificates! Let’s use the time wisely.
Your Experience
Another form of knowledge, and one that you will also retain in the future. Your experience is still going to be valuable, and it may be worth even more when we reach the other side, as we begin to rebuild. Afterwards, your situational knowledge will be an advantage in the future.
Our memories
Life is a made up of experiences, and the most important ones are including our friends and family. The best things in life aren’t things; they are memories and particularly the ones we create with the ones we love and care about.
Your goals and dreams
Because of the current situation is limiting us, your goals and dreams might take a hit on this point. But when it’s something important, it will be still important in the future. You can, should and must keep your achievable goals and your dreams. Let them fuel you through this challenge!
Ability to help
Your ability to help, to share, to create value for others is only going to grow stronger during difficult times. It is difficult to worry about yourself and your future if you are focused on helping others who need you.
Your faith
In times of crisis, it is easy to doubt your faith, to question what you believe, what you know. The word faith is to believe without physical proof but trusting what your spirit perceives. Your faith will endure this test. It’s important not to lose hope and faith for better times. In a worst-case, losing faith and hope can cause depression.
In Conclusion
We are going to recover from this crisis. It is going to take time, but we are going to rebuild our lives, our communities, our businesses, our economy, and our countries. Keeping the personal, valuable things close, it will give more energy to maintain a positive mindset during the crisis. The speed at which we recover is going to depend on you and me doing our part to make things better where we are, something we can start doing now.
