In October, the first person in family of 5 developed symptoms of COVID 19.
I thought that one of us was at risk and went through a lot of distress. In the end they experienced mild symptoms.
I took the opportunity to analyze and work on my resilience:
→ About being worried:
Fear takes over everything. My capacity to think rationally took a hit and I was mentally stuck.
→ What I already knew:
50% of the recovery started with healthy eating and exercising.
→ “Coaching protective concepts” that helped:
- Optimism: take a deeper look at your perceptions.
- Anchors: think about your morals and values to reflect on your life purpose.
- Hope: set some goals, take small action steps.
→ What I knew in theory but blew my mind in practice:
Social support: being supported by our friends and network gave me a feeling of social belonging; a critical part of recovery and SO comforting.
→ Totally new:
A stationary bike stand: to be able to cycle at home!! 😂
Life is full of ups and downs. Are you taking every opportunity to work on your own recovery strategy? What works for you?
Have a great day!
