Learning Wednesday: Hospital Cleaning Personal Heroes In The Covid-19 Pandemic

Quite often we don’t recognize the brilliant and brave labor that the cleaning personal does in hospitals, clinics, medical offices, in the middle of the Covid-19 Pandemic. They have also been in the front line in the fight against the coronavirus.

In Hard Times The Stronger You Have to Be!

Lately, several people have communicated to me that they feel extremely anxious about the times the world is going through now. The Covid-19 global pandemic has affected the lives and livelihood of millions around the world.

All this chaos that exists affects the mind and mental health of individuals. Anxiety, stress, depression, post-traumatic stress and other mental disturbances appear and unfortunately are not well attended and recognized on time. So, it is when you know that things are not working well that you have to work on your mental health and your emotions so you can not only survive but thrive in tough times:

• Accept that some situations are beyond your control.
• Motivate and inspire yourself everyday
• Allow yourself time to grieve and feel all the feelings.
• Never be afraid to ask for help.
• Whenever possible, offer help to those in need.
• Take joy where life offers it.
• Reframe your negative thoughts.

Never Give Up Stay Hopeful and Safe!
