The World Needs to Take Lessons from Coronavirus Outbreak!

We have dealt with an unpreceded pandemic in the whole world. We have dealt with the coronavirus outbreak and would be dealing with the after-consequences of this outbreak for many months. Probably this was nature’s way of replenishing itself and getting humans locked in their own homes. They say time is powerful, and this time; time has proved it! All of us wanted to go out and work and enjoy after a point of time. But none of us could!  For the first time in our lives, many of us were tired of chilling at home. Some of us did love it though!

Like a good student and a human being, each of us should take the lessons which this crisis wanted us to learn:

·        Nursery rhymes are interesting, nursery lessons are important in life!
Wash your hands before and after eating, after coming home and at regular intervals. Cover your face when you sneeze or cough. Keep your shoes outside in the rack when you step inside your room. These were the things which we were taught in the Nursery class.
Do you remember the kind of distance we maintained while we stood for prayers? One hand distance!  That is what you need to do when you step out now. Do not miss taking a bath daily for personal hygiene and protection.

You need to follow these learnings for your life now so that any such infection has lesser chances of infecting the whole world in the future.

·        Family time is precious!
Talking to each other in the family always gives a great boost to our health, personal, and professional life. Our elders have a lot of their experiences to share and we can always learn from them. Discussing problems with them will give us solutions that we may not be able to think of. Spending time with each other and the children at home bring in new form and definition of happiness.

·        Savings are a must!
This period did teach us how important it is to save money. Many people went through a tough period. Arranging meals became difficult for daily wagers. No matter how much you earn per day or per month, it is important to save daily. Keep some money aside each day as savings. Always be prepared for a situation for 6 months of no-earning period. These savings can help you in such periods where stepping out of home is not possible. They will also come to your rescue if you suffer from any diseases which do not let you work a lot.

·        Utilize your time effectively!
We were all locked in our homes. We could not do some important things which required us to go out. Therefore, never procrastinate things that should be done at priority. The habit of procrastination can someday make you a part of a big problem.
The time that we had these days amid lockdown was the best time to heal which a lot of people did not get for a long time. Each minute shall be therefore used to the fullest.

·        Kindness is evergreen!
The winner in this coronavirus crisis is kindness. We all learned to donate food and many essentials to the people in need. We all learned to be patient towards each other when we stood at distance apart to buy our groceries. We all learned the art of self-control. These are not the virtues that shall be forgotten. Keep yourself the same. Be thankful for each thing that you are blessed with and try to help the needy in daily life. Mental calmness and peace grace you when you are able to help someone.

·        Never take your mental health for granted!
You cannot be completely healthy if you are not mentally healthy. Always have a hobby that can keep you mentally relaxed and healthy during the worst times. While many of us built a hobby during this period, some of us are yet to do it.
Taking time out for your favorite thing each day can help you in staying in good mental health.

·        Have a workspace at your home!
It may be a room or a simple chair and table in a corner of your room. You may be required to work from home for a considerable time. And to maintain your productivity, or rather improve it, the environment needs to be peaceful, healthy, and work-oriented. You should be having and internet that can support your work. It is also good to have a laptop but that can still be borrowed from the place you work at.
A clean and specific work-place at home makes you work without distractions. It saves your time and money used in commuting and good quality of timely work helps in building an employer’s trust in you.

·        Always have your doctor’s email and phone number!
Digital consultation can be inevitable at times. You must have realized during this period of lockdown. Having the doctor’s phone number and e-mail with you can make you reach him or her in times of need. A digital prescription can be taken to purchase medicines that are needed the most. To consult digitally for customized or individualized homeopathic treatment, e-mail at kailahomeopathy@gmail.com

·        Always have your medicines ready at home!
If possible, keep prescribed medicines for one month at home so that you have fewer chances of missing your daily doses. You can have your prescribed homeopathic medicines at home from Kaila Homeopathy.
Do not miss any medicines especially when you are suffering from a serious or chronic disease such as diabetes, heart problem, kidney disease, psoriasis. Missing your medicine can worsen your current situation and make you more prone to dangerous infections.

·        Certain people always need to be extra careful!
And these certain people are the people of old age, people with diabetes and other chronic diseases such as HIV- AIDS. People with low immunity are always at higher risk of getting infections and this is why they needed to be extra careful during coronavirus crisis. The weak immune system always makes you susceptible to infections of low and high intensities.

·        Nature knows to shut you in and heal itself!
Air pollution was under control. The air was a lot better. This was when the least number of vehicles on the road. We felt a different sense of connection with trees and animals. Let us all try to keep nature safe from us when we step out. Give a break to personal vehicles in day-to-day life and connect with animals and nature each day. The sight of deer stepping out on vacant roads became a sensation. Let us all make space for animals to feel free and safe.

A sense of security would always be lacking if one doesn’t keep in completely good health. Coronavirus crisis has made us all learn a lot of things which we shall never forget!
