a gesture of love during the lockdown is the need of the hour
Have you ever wondered why this Covid Pandemic wreaked a havoc on our lives despite being asked to stay back at homes? Aren’t homes our comfort zones? Isn’t the easy availability of various supplies not satiating our hunger? Well, the answer is ‘no’. No, the homes alone do not give us the much-needed emotional support during a crisis. No, the availability of supplies alone doesn’t cater to our cravings of human connection that enhances our sense of security. No, it’s not easy for us to feel perfect under imperfect conditions. We, as humans, at every stage of evolution clung to what has been familiar to us. External events and crises influence our thoughts, behavior and actions to the extent of hindering our very existence. Covid Pandemic had similarly loomed large upon our lives engulfing each of us in the thoughts of fear and helplessness.
Everything said and done, it is not impossible for us to navigate through this sea of emotions with an armour of smile. The power of resilience solely lies in the idea of being connected and being cared for. Yes, you read it right.
Humans evolved into social beings because of necessity. Social distancing left us bereft of connectedness, enjoyment and meaning. The result of which is loneliness that can become a pervasive and chronic condition with serious mental and physical manifestations. Since science successfully proved that immunity is inversely proportional to loneliness, spreading love, happiness and care is the key to survival during these testing times. All of us are born with the ability to create happiness, and to experience happiness too. Now, the question is how do we go about spreading it?
Offer hope, withhold judgment, extend care or implant an idea.
Magic of greetings
Well, maybe I know one way of doing it while still maintaining social distance. Tell me what is the best thing about your best days or special days? For example, your birthday? Yes, you got it right. Greetings from your loved ones is what makes your special day really special. Greetings are a random act of kindness and can make a tremendous impact on someone’s life. In fact, psychological surveys claim that a positive thought or a thoughtful wish in the morning have the ability to set up a person for a positive day ahead. Every small greeting can touch someone’s heart when offered with utmost compassion.
I am not recalling those thoughtless forwarded good morning messages that flood our inboxes each morning. I am discussing those custom-written messages that direct at the heart of the recipient, will additionally affect their mental state positively and yield better outcomes. Here, the most challenging task and incredible tool as well is the expression. A well-balanced tone with an element of gratitude which liberally encompasses appreciation and a good wish for the holistic health and wellness of the recipient comes a long way in mustering hope in them and also balancing relationships.
Love is the only force that can help mankind to fight the despair and stand stronger than ever.
Language of love
To make things simple, you can focus on the 10 most loved persons of your life at a time. Emphasise on the matters where it works the best. Offer hope, withhold judgment, extend care or implant an idea. Identify the key ingredients that make a difference and ensure they are well placed before sending out your thoughts each morning. And witness the magic that unfolds.
Because during this covid pandemic, love is the only force that can help mankind to fight the despair and stand stronger than ever.
Makes sense? Have a great day folks!!!!
