Enhance Your Life with Gratitude

CV-19 - 5 - International Day of Happiness 2020

Celebrating International Day of Happiness in a time of global pandemic might seem odd. But in reality it can be helpful to shift our focus from the overwhelming onslaught of information about coronavirus and CoVID-19. Allowing a shift to a focus on that which is good, that which makes us laugh, or that which we're are grateful for can lighten the mood. It doesn't change what is happening, but it might make it easier to cope.

CV-19 - 4 - Structure can help

There are many of us spending more time at home than at work or school. And with this comes a lack of structure. This lack of structure can negatively impact on your mental wellbeing. Adding structure back into your day by planning it can help limit a feeling of overwhelm, boredom, and limit procrastination.

CV-19 - 3 - Mantaining Connections

At this time of global pandemic there is so much confusion and panic. What do we need to do? What will happen to me if I have to self-isolate or quarantine? But I need to see my friends? But I want to go out? How do we stay mentally well at this time?   

One thing you can do is to maintain connection with your friends and family using social media and other video communication platforms.

CV-19 - 2 - Managing wellbeing without leaving home

When you are in quarantine or isolation it can be hard to maintain your wellbeing. Keep in mind that psychologists do see clients via online video consultations. And research has found that this format yields similar results to seeing a psychologist face-to-face in the same room.

I am available for this type of consultation. For more information please have a look at the Enhance Life Psychology website - www.enhancelife.com.au

CV-19 - 1 - How are you coping at the moment?

The world seems to be all upended at the moment. It's not easy for many of us to cope; we feel overwhelmed and anxious. There are some things that can be helpful for us... one key thing that might be helpful is to limit how much information we are consuming... It might be better to stop, breathe and limit how much time we are consuming huge volumes of information. Checking in with those around us, family, friends and neighbours.
