Extensive studies in psychology indicate that following a traumatic experience, we often return stronger than we were originally. This resilience can emerge as we develop enhanced coping mechanisms through adversity.
The coronavirus pandemic exemplifies this phenomenon.
Now is the perfect moment to reflect on any beneficial habits you’ve cultivated and commit to maintaining them as we transition into 2021. While it’s unrealistic to expect the virus to disappear on January 1st, we’re approaching a post-pandemic reality. Setting your intentions for life after the virus can assist you in sustaining those positive practices.
Consider these examples:
Many individuals have increased their physical activity and are enjoying the outdoors more. With limited options for entertainment and a desire to escape the confines of home, a significant number of new walkers, joggers, and cyclists have emerged. Similar to those who fluctuate with dieting, there’s a risk that once life stabilizes, many might abandon their newfound fitness habits. However, this doesn’t have to be the outcome. After establishing a routine, be aware that as circumstances evolve, adjustments to your schedule or environment may be necessary. Keep in mind that these changes were beneficial for your well-being, and they are likely to continue to be so even when the pandemic is over.
