Many of us thought that the coronavirus pandemic would be gone by now! But it has not disappeared and has left many of us with the COVID 19 Blues. This pandemic has created hysteria, fear and a great deal of uncertainty, which, in turn, can lead to frustration and depression. The blues. Just the blahs.
The confinement! Blah.
The uncertainty!
Nothing good on TV!
No sports!
No vacation and travel!
Close quarters with entire family!
No eating out … much! Except for take out.
Upcoming Presidential election!
Eating a lot of meals at home!
Curtailment of work schedules!
No school!
To wear or not wear a mask!
Raises a lot of questions for normal folks, doesn’t it? And can easily bring on bouts with depression! So, what can I do? Here are a few suggestions:
Be creative. Use Facetime or Zoom app to see and talk to family and friends.
Don’t watch the news cycle 24/7.
DO NOT believe all you read on Facebook, TV or the newspapers.
Read a good book. Maybe, THE Good Book!
Take a long walk. With family or friend.
Buy yourself something online. Personal.
Go to church, if you can. If not, watch it online.
Exercise, if you can.
Appreciate the value of “comfort” foods.
Realize that the LORD is in control. Even with the coronavirus.
Philippians 4:13, 19
