As humans, Physiological and Psychological well-being is essential for us to live a peaceful life. But do we all have peace in our lives today? The pandemic hited everyone’s life upside down. Until 2019,the world was moving very quick. No one had time to think. We had no break. Then the Covid-19 pandemic came. Situation changed. The doors of exploration were closed. We were in homes,locked. We understood that we need break. The impact created by this pandemic was huge. Every sector of the society got hit. Talking about students and education, college life is the turning point for many. Interactions with professors, students and the healthy and positive environment in college campus contribute more than anything in his student life. But now there is no in-person communication for students with teachers.
They discussions going among students in college are “Do we have any free hours today? Shall we go to canteen? Do we have any assignment submission? Today is the last day to lend books to library?”. There would be so much interest towards education if they were in college. But now,”Am I audible?Is my screen visible? Switch on your cameras” these are the discussions going on. What made it so different? There occured a change. Change is a part of human life. It may happen within a body or can come from external environment. It can be either positive or negative. The thing matters is,how humans react to it? It’s normal for a person to worry. But it won’t help us now. But it can be changed by our thoughts.
Any life is life of change
-Kathleen Smith,2021
There occurs changes in nature. Species adapt to changes. It is called Evolution. As well,humans have the capability to adapt to changes. It is an emotional reaction;difficult to compare from a person to another. The point is how persistent you are to adapt to this change.
What should we do now?
1) Understand:
Normally our brain works in system 1 thinking which gives controlled emotions. But there is also another kind called System 2 thinking where we don’t think much before acting. Today we should understand the situation and act rightly. We should not leave stress to take over us.
2) Resilience:
It is the ability to cope with change and work to start a new beginning. People with resilience have higher tolerance. Resilience helps us to be positive even at these difficult times. It helps us to stay focussed and work on our objectives. It helps us to improve self-esteem. We should work to build up resilience.
3)Acceptance:
Changes are outside individual’s control. Just focus on things within your control. Use time in a positive way. Take actions that help us to improve in life. Take inspiration from the past. This situation will end. We need to accept that and believe.
4)Reach out:
Connect with family and friends via phone,video chats,etc. Technology is here to help us. We have to come out of the shell,open our minds and discuss about the concerns we have. We have to avoid negative discussions and messages and use social media and networks to learn and improve.
5)Self care:
Our body is interesting.We have to keep it good by doing exercise daily. It’s a relaxation technique. We should have enough sleep to keep our brain healthy. We have to rediscover our hobbies that have a positive impact on our Psychological well-being. We have to stay motivated with persistence and endurance.
Good vibes:
- Family time
- Rediscovering hobbies
- Learning
- Pollution levels down
- Less accidents
- Personal hygeine
- Restructuring life
- Wildlife is thriving
- Technological advancements in health-care sector.
We have all these positives to think about. We are at the verge of ending the pandemic. Be ready for a new beginning.
The only thing that remains constant is the change.
