By now one thing I know for sure is that we are all mentally fatigued from Covid 19. As I write this different situations are happening in different states. My son, in Seattle Washington, who survived the virus, has just received another month of shut in orders from the Governor. My daughter, in LA, has been told to expect longer shut in orders. My brother and family, in Chicago, also just received another month of shut in orders. Meanwhile, I am in Florida and was able to enjoy a lovely beach walk this morning and will be opening my office next week.
The fear of the unknown is still with us. Will there be a new spike in illness and deaths? Will reopening states be OK? Is it safe for us to be out? We all want the economy to reopen. We are all mentally fatigued from this ongoing situation.
I have a suggestion for thinking about different things than the virus all day long. Here is a list of suggestions for different thinking or journaling topics. Try to do one or several everyday. The list is an idea of positive topics for your brain. Let me know if the list is helpful to you.
The important thing to remember is to try to remain positive in this time of uncertainty. Reach out to a mental health professional if you need help.
