According to a recent article I read written by a therapist, isolation not only zaps our energy but can also lead to depression. The recent pandemic and quarantine has certainly taught us that.
Let’s be mindful of ways to help ourselves when the impact of isolation sets in:
- Keep a good schedule every day, waking up at the same time, eating healthy meals, and getting plenty of exercise. Prayer or meditation can help as well.
- Contact friends and family by social media or phone. It’s a good chance to catch up and the interaction will lessen your feelings of separation.
This is all easier said than done. But, by helping yourself, you can help others too.
