With the world is full of information, what to believe in?
It may be difficult to give up all the restrictions for some, although being harmful and/ annoying (like the masks which were mostly causing headache).
If weve been fed little by little all sorts of fears about corona, we have composed different pictures and perceptions - and fears about it.
One is afraid of the virus itself, the other about getting ill/death in general, one about being sent to the hospital, some about the vaccines, about transmitting the disease to others and some about being left alone once all signicant others dying of it...all these are dependant of our own experiences in life.

What depresses us? Why is so many exhausted?
There are as many answers as questions. I have learned through my own experience (twice depressed) and by helping others, that my expectations towards myself were sky high. I didn't feel I had succeeded in anything.

Elämässä emme voi välttää vaikeita valintoja, keskusteluja tai stressaavia tilanteita,jotka mieluummin jättäisit väliin. Stressi kuuluu elämään, kyse on vain siitä, kuinka siitä itse selviät ja suhtaudut vaikeisiin asioihin.
Read MoreThe many faces of stress
Under stress we are capable of making decisions quickly, we are ready to either fight or flight and to defend ourselves against an enemy!
We don't have access to all the areas of the brain at that moment so the decisions are not based on rational thinking but instead most likely hasty conclusions.
So any long term planning or decisions aren't recommended when under acute - or long term - stress. Their time comes later on.

What can you do when you're anxious and cannot actually think positively, not to mention be grateful?
This excercise is easy to do. You can do it anywhere - and what's best - you don't need to fool yourself to think positively! Personally I never liked those excercises because I've felt that I would be deceiving myself by denying any negative things to exist in my life. And they do. That's one reason why I like methods like PSYCH-K®. However this excercise felt doable so let's get moving!

Covid19 alkaa olla ohi Suomessa – tai pahin aika siitä. Karanteeni toi mukanaan yhtä sun toista. Alun hyvin erikoisen sulkeutumisten jälkeen italialaiset näyttivät mallia siitä, kuinka voimme nauttia toistemme seurasta, vaikka emme olekaan kosketuksissa toisiimme. Parvekkeilla laulu toi meille internettiin erilaisia ihania yhteislauluja, nk. ammattilaisten esityksiä ja juhlistamista netin välityksellä. Tämä oli meille monelle uutta…

New fears
Monella kuitenkin pelko ahdistaa mielessä ja sydämessä eikä tunnu laantuvan, vaikka Korona on maassamme jyllännyt jo yli kuukauden – niinkuin kausi-influenssat yleensäkin tekevät. Syitä on monia: esim. kun ei tiedä montaakaan asiaa:
how long time will this last?
what if I catch it?
what if my nearest ones catch it?
how to survive if the quarantine lasts for weeks?
Where will I get money because I can't work?
how long time will I have to stay alone?
Mihin keskityt, pelkoon vai toivoon?
Bruce Liptonin artikkelin innoittamana muistutan kaikkia siitä, että me voimme vaikuttaa omaan elämäämme enemmän kuin tuntuu olevan tiedossa. Paniikki, joka on vallannut maailman, on todella tappava. Sen sijaan, että kerrottaisi ihmisille heidän omista mahdollisuuksistaan, lietsotaan pelkoa ja uhkakuvia? Brucen mukaan jos olet joskus sairastanut flunssan, tai ollut vilustunut, olet todennäköisesti sairastanut Coronaviruksen. Kyseinen virus ei…
