I thought I would share with everyone how COVID-19 has affected me personally and how I am getting through this period. My key message to anyone is to stay positive and utilise this time to re-charge and re-set.
In the early days of COVID-19 isolation, it was difficult for me to maintain a strong and positive mental mindset during these times.
Whilst isolation laws are absolutely necessary in order to flatten the
curve of this virus and to keep as many of us in good health as possible, it is a double edged sword because mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression can creep into our lives when confined to an isolation environment.
Isolation unfortunately can have a profound effect on a person’s mental health. We as humans thrive on getting out of the confines of our four walls that we reside in to be out in the great outdoors and to socialise with our family and friends.
It can be very easy to slip into negative self-talk and thinking of all the worst case scenarios that can happen as a result of not being able to earn an income
or being able to socialise face-to-face. Such negative thoughts can bring on anxiety and depression which can take us to dark places in our minds.
Like many people and businesses in March 2020, my livelihood came to an immediate halt overnight as a result of COVID-19 isolations and travel restrictions in Australia.
As we know all too well, financial hardship can place stress on a person, their relationships and a family but it’s really important to rise above this and really think about what is important in our lives.
Anxiety and depression left untreated can be extremely debilitating so seeking professional assistance is very important. My moto is, “Health before Wealth”.
