As a psychiatrist and nurse-psychotherapist, Joyce and I would like to remind you all about the most important things to remember and practice in this often difficult Covid-19 era. The following points will help you more than survive emotionally and spiritually, but more importantly, to thrive, both as an individual and in your relationships. There has been a lot of emphasis on physical survival, which of course is important. In the following, we would like to also emphasize the non-physical ways to thrive at this time.
Tips to Thrive
Gratitude
Gratitude is high on the list. There is always something for which you can be thankful. Gratitude lifts the spirit immediately. It is a rapid path to emotional and spiritual well-being. Think it, speak it out loud, or write it down, as much as you can. It will make you feel better. If it’s difficult to be grateful, read Joyce’s article last month.
