Stay Emotionally Healthy This Quarantine - Sarnali Chakraborty

-

Homebound 24*7 can be really tricky and boring for students. No school, no play, only staying inside the four walls can be emotionally stressful as well. Especially the fear and anxiety surrounding the disease can lead to strong emotional changes in both the parents as well as the students. So below are few ways to stay emotionally happy and healthy this lockdown.

1. TAKE A BREAK FROM EVERYTHING


Too much of anything is not good. Similar is the situation with our life now. With the pandemic outbreak increasing day by day, we have become glued to our TV sets or even our smart phones. Keeping a tab on the news constantly can be upsetting. So, take breaks from watching news or listening to stories related to news. Just sit and relax. Give yourself time. 

2. PLAYTIME WITH YOUR FAMILY


Believe me Quarantine has come with its own pros and cons. And one of them is it is allowing us to spend quality time with our family as well as with ourselves. Play interactive games. Not problems if you don’t have UNO, or Monopoly, play anything you want. Just sit and have a round of good gossip in case you don’t have anything to play.

3. STAY HEALTHY


Amidst everything it is really important to keep yourself healthy. Drink water, eat healthy, and eat on time. Staying healthy is not always costly; consume things present in your home. Eat your breakfast, lunch, and dinner on time. Sleep on time; give your life a good start.

4. SPEND SOME GOOD "ME" TIME


Spend good amount of time with yourself. Not necessary you have to involve yourself in doing things your friends are doing. Involve yourself in things you love to do. Understand what you love doing. It can be anything from cooking to reading to playing, spend your own time in your style.

5. CLEANLINESS IS MUST


Keep your surroundings clean. From your bed to your work desk, clean it every day. Keep things organized so that you don’t need to look for it everywhere. As it is we are homebound, and in this situation if we need to look for every little things, it can be too much irritating.

We are social beings --- the need to belong, to be accepted, loved and respected is so important for us. However the current situation demands that we isolate ourselves and remain confined in our homes with our families and connect to the outer world through audio / visual media. Thank god for technology but it can get impersonal too. We miss meeting the people we relax and enjoy with. Our chats over coffee, watching movies together, our walks and even going to work. We miss our routine what we have so long been accustomed to.  I would like to share some simple ways to handle this phase: Firstly we need to keep reminding ourselves that this is a temporary period, a passing phase . Very soon we will get back to our routine and look back at this period in terms of lessons learnt, possibly the patience that we have developed which was earlier not there and the challenges we faced that might have changed us forever. Also aren’t we the blessed ones as there are so ma...

                                    1. First and foremost let's understand that there is no 'one formula' for instilling values in children . 2. The roots begin in the family but not everyone is blessed with that kind of a family and there are pathological families too. 3. Still those who are blessed can spread that blessing further by sharing their learning and experiences. 4. So when it comes to adults, it's very important to ascertain that the caregiver is high on E.Q., S.Q. and A.Q.  as most children learn by observing. 5. If we are trying to teach our children to be courageous, strong, confident and independent, we need to nurture them so that they can become so. 6. Praise is a vitamin for this . 7. So is the vitamin 'No'. Children must realise that they cannot have everything they want and as soon as they want it. 8. However we need to p...
