During this crisis, interpersonal problems are also
escalating, with even some emerging, where there
were previously none.
The economic impact that will most likely hit a good
percentage of the world's population and affect
everyone in some way, will cause all this problem to
be significantly aggravated.
This whole picture will likely lead to an increase in the
number of suicides, in further deterioration of those
already suffering from mental illness and in the
emergence of new cases. Evidence suggests we will
see an increase in crime, aggression and physical and
verbal violence, including spousal and child abuse.
Significant changes in established paradigms are
highly likely to follow, which will in the long run will
likely prove to be a positive thing; but, at first they will
create circumstances that will significantly aggravate
the incidence and prevalence of mental illness and the
sufferings it causes. As a result of these conditions,
there can also be an expected further increase in the
unemployment rate leading to greater family and social
deterioration.
Usually for beginners it is good enough to practice this
for 5 to 10 minutes twice a day, morning and night, it
will yield great benefits. If you cannot hold the practice
at first for more than two or three minutes at a time, it
does not matter, don't stop. With a consistent practice,
very soon you will be doing up to 20 or 30 minutes and
you will perceive and appreciate the positive physical
and mental changes giving way to a better, more
peaceful and fulfilling life.
You can also practice meditation when walking,
focus on your breathing while feeling each foot
when touching and stepping off the ground.
We will certainly get through this crisis, as
humanity has done in so many others it has faced.
It is up to us to avoid at a maximum the havoc that
it potentially causes, both in the short and long
term. This in turn will put us in an advantageous
position to adapt with resilience to the new
paradigms we will face and in doing so, identify the
new opportunities that will undoubtedly arise in all
areas of life.
Protocols will certainly have to be established to
address these problems. But we must act proactively,
to reduce its negative impact as soon as possible and to
minimize the long-term effects.
Some points to consider in the pursuit of these goals to
preserve physical and mental health include:
Eating healthy and in moderation, avoiding excess
alcohol, avoiding excess carbohydrates, eating
abundant fruits and vegetables and taking abundant
liquids. Hot liquids appear to be beneficial in
preventing Covid-19 infections after exposure. It is
important have a good night’s sleep of at least eight
hours a day, but not less than seven hours.
Avoid excess television time, radio or internet,
especially newscasts. Choose reliable and serious
sources and receive your daily information once or
twice a day at most from these sources. Be cautious to
not put in more than thirty minutes per session.
Consider exercising lightly daily. It can be, brisk walks
of around 15-20 minutes, practice yoga, swim if not in
public spaces.
Meditation is of great help. If you practice it, do not
stop now. If you have not done it before, this is a good
time to start with light exercises, such as being in a
quiet space breathing slowly and rhythmically, while
turning your attention to your breath always. If other
ideas or thoughts distract you, do not try to block them
or get rid of it, just redirect your attention to breathing;
with this the intrusive ideas will soon start becoming
less intense and frequent.
Let us not hold on to the past and what we are
familiar with; we should be open to new options,
ideas and opportunities. Let us try to be healthy in
body and mind, with well-being and equanimity.
Ready to act in our lives, consolidate our success
and live fully, healthy and in total prosperity.
Be in Wellness!
