Coping with Current Situation
A Lovely Monday Morning to you all!
Do you know……..times are hard, stressful, confusing, following the global outbreak of Corona virus, and we are still adapting to the new normal. We face changes constantly in our lives, only we have to learn how to cope with it effectively without damaging our physical, mental, and spiritual health.
We know from constant exposure to news broadcasting, digital media, and the newspaper, many countries went into lockdown, placing restrictions on the movement of people and barring international visitors, to impede the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 (the virus causing COVID-19) virus and prevent community transmission. Unfortunately, even with strict lock 
downs and social distancing measures, countries across the world are struggling to contain the spread of the novel Corona virus. It has already resulted in Confirmed 4.1M (+61,554), Recovered 1.4M, and Deaths 282K (+8,499), across the globe in the absence of treatments, vaccines, or the diagnostics, and continues to increase by the day. Initially, the virus was thought to spread only when we came in contact with the infected person, but the recent scientific research/studies have revealed the spread even by the silent asymptomatic carriers. This Corona pandemic is not only affecting our health, but has brought the global economy to an unprecedented halt. Unemployment is at the rise and some experts are comparing the current crisis with the Great Depression of the 1930s.
We have to try to keep abreast with the ever changing situation and have to keep thinking, improvising the best case scenario to ride out of this storm. It’s not easy to feel normal in times of uncertainty and avoid being stressed. Here, we should not forget about the emotional state of our young and little ones. We have to be mindful towards them and help them to manage difficult emotions and inspire kindness toward others. This social distancing and isolation could cause tension, anxiety, physical abuse, and long term mental health condition. Researchers and nutritional psychiatry suggest, that with the intervention of balanced nutritional diet, mental wellness could be improved.
It’s amazing that the entire world is facing the same crisis, not only a few of us, so to bring happiness in crisis, we all have to:
- Emit positive vibrations of love, compassion, gratitude, blessings, cooperation for the entire human kind, not the vibrations of fear and anxiety. It will change our feelings and would be beneficial to all of us. We all have heard, thoughts become our reality and effects our health, our family, our community, our state, our country, and pretty soon becomes the global vibration and in turn would heal the planet.
- Give gratitude to the Almighty for giving us yet another new day in our lives. Let us show our gratitude towards our family and the people who are instrumental (Researchers, Scientists, Doctors, Para-Medical staffs, Police force, and the Administration) in keeping us safe.
- Not be dependent on the situation and let it spoil our happiness.
- Give our gratitude for the food, water we are having. Let us continue cooking and eating home cooked meal which is a healthy life style habit, filled with high energy, and definitely filled with love and compassion.
- Be thankful to the Digital technology for providing the tools for efficient remote instructions, working, learning-teaching environment, exercising, entertainment, during this corona virus pandemic.
Per WHO (World Health Organization) website, Corona is known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) and SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). The most recently discovered Corona virus causes Corona virus disease COVID-19. So, practicing hand and respiratory hygiene is important at all times and is the best way to protect others and yourself. Besides social distancing, there are ways to take care of our health in naturalistic, holistic manner:
Drink lots of water (possibly lukewarm, with lemon and honey) to stay hydrated, avoid alcoholic beverages
Irrigate sinuses using a Neti-Pot with saline nasal water
Direct inhalation of Essential oils: Essential oils have been used for centuries as a natural way to support emotional and physical health due to their individual therapeutic properties. Can inhale the aromatic molecules right from the bottle of sinus relieving essential oils (Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Lavender, Tea tree), or add 2-3 drops of oils to a handkerchief, cotton ball, or inhaler tube, and breathe in as needed.
Steam Inhalation: is a very effective way to relieve stuffy nose and could help with upper respiratory tract infection. Boil 2-3 cups tap water and pour into a heat-proof bowl. Add 4-6 drops of essential oils (2 drops each of Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and 1 drop Peppermint Essential Oils) and stir slowly. Cover the back of your head with a towel, carefully lean over the bowl, and breathe in the steam through your nose and mouth as long as the steam is rising (for 2-4 minutes). Keep your eyes closed to prevent eye irritation. Repeat this once every other day for 10-15 days or as needed. (Instead of essential oils, can also use herbs: like 1 teaspoons of oregano and 1 teaspoons of basil).
