9 Ways to Find Relief From Stress
Let’s dig deeper into why it is very important to have a balanced stress mindset during the lockdown in a world pandemic.
Primarily because we know now, that traumatic stress can be passed down and if not treated or healed; can cause short-term and long-term problems known as mental terminal diseases. For example Alzheimer’s and dementia.
This is what my family and I personally experience as caregivers of my mother who died last year, at a young age from these two terminal illnesses. I’ve seen what trauma, repressing feelings or voicing your concerns, constant stress, and not seeking help can do to a human brain. These are deadly if you don’t take care of them. I hope this article helps you be kinder to your mind, as you deal with stressful situations brought forward since last year in March.
Although at your own pace.
Living and surviving through a world pandemic plus working from home or not. It’s not easy. Financial, emotional, and physical extreme or chronic stress, are huge for those who are suffering due to internal and marginalized unequal systems.
Now, here is why editing podcasts, creating content, and writing blogs have been affecting productivity since the new year started. Because as a woman of color environmentalist and spiritual activist, I cannot stay silent while my people are suffering and dying.
My daughter's and children's futures are on the line. And if I can do something about it. I will.
Integrity and truth are my core values and fortunately, are gifts from God and my ancient spirit; I would NOT let this city or these F*& systems take it away from me. If I can save the people I love and those who are voiceless somehow, I’m going to do it. There are dumb, greedy, selfish bigots “leaders” controlled by Billionaires and they ALL need to be held accountable for their actions.
