Season 2 Episode 2 - Your New Normal How To Cope With COVID-19 & Confinement

The Perspective Matters Podcast

Unless your name is Nostradamus or you read "End of Days" by Sylvia Browne you would not have seen COVID-19 coming.

COVID is here now and by the looks of it; it's going to be around for a while. Our lives are forever changed and while this admission might be daunting to some of us; nestled in this admission is; the truth that we can come out on the other side: stronger, better, more compassionate, more resilient - human!!

In this episode I share some of the resources I rely on to cope: from meditation, burning incense, organizing virtual games night! We are encouraged to practice Social Distancing but this is not a licence for Social Isolation. We need to interact; we are wired to have and seek to fulfill this need. Our new normal requires us to become creative and rely on the Internet, Social Media and other means to stay in touch with our families, friends and colleagues.

Our new normal has created new challenges and new opportunities as well! If you are a parent and you need resources to keep your child/children occupied please visit ABC MOUSE. There are tonnes of games and activities that will keep them engaged and entertained and the best part is: they will learn! If your kids like books try something different with AUDIBLE FOR KIDS.

Need to have fun with your family, friends or colleagues? Then organize a games night and host a virtual Pictionary Party on GARTIC! Bring out the budding Picasso within you!!
