We've been on high alert for about a year now. January saw a spike in Covid 19 cases at an all time high in LA County. Just being aware of this can put pressure on your emotional well-being and mental health. The numbers are dropping and the vaccine is a ray of hope but by now the high level of stress is being felt. You may find yourself feeling drained, burnt out. Can you relate?
Did you know that there is such a thing as hitting the pandemic wall?
Feeling this way, especially in this stage of the coronavirus crisis is completely normal, say mental health experts so hopefully, this will help ease your mind and body a bit.
If you feel yourself stuck in a pandemic-fueled rut, first take a moment to pause and acknowledge your feelings. Go easy on yourself as you sit with these emotions. The pandemic has been brutal, and it's time we all cut ourselves a break.
"Have compassion for yourself and don't belittle your feelings." It's hard and hitting a wall is a completely valid response to totally irregular circumstances. BE KIND TO YOURSELF.
