We asked Post readers how they take care of themselves when they feel unable to bounce back. Their responses paint a portrait of resilience and gave me a much needed dose of hope.
“I lay down on the floor or on a bed in complete darkness and silence for 10-15 minutes and let myself process the day”“I remind myself that all thoughts, moods and emotions are creations of mind and despite the worry, frustration, and anger it generates, that ‘I am OK right now’ in this moment. The only place safe from the reactive mind is the present moment.
“For me it’s all about giving myself permission to watch Downton Abbey or The Crown in the middle of the day. Prior to covid I never would have allowed myself such an indulgence. It would have been unthinkable. Now, watching good TV is the only thing that shuts down my mind and soothes my perpetual anxiety.”“I practice something my therapist taught me, which is to listen to what your mind and body actually need, right now, in this moment, guilt-free .
One of the ways I have been staying connected and maintaining relationships is by simply sharing funny videos with friends over social media. Sending and receiving memes from friends far away can have a huge impact on my day. I suppose it’s nice to know distant friends are thinking about me throughout their day, and have photos or videos that they know I would appreciate. It’s really not much, but it’s one of the things that has kept me going through all this.
