Life in isolation: At one level,
it appears a life of luxury.

No disturbance from the routine,

no one comes to your door to disturb.

You can sleep as long as you want,

and watch news on TV until you are
overloaded with information,
misinformation and disinformation.

You feel tired, and lose focus.

At another level, lack of routine,

takes away the purpose...daily, weekly,

monthly, yearly and long term.

You can feel lost, unmotivated, anxious,
even depressed...your freedom is gone.

You visualise life beyond Coronavirus,

of misery, poverty, struggle and effort.

Fear is working its way to your unhappiness.

My answer to isolation: To accept what's
happening, then surrender.

Have trust in human species; we are strong and
capable of overcoming anything.
We are designed to fight illness.

Keep a healthy routine...exercise, eat well.

meditate few times, everyday.

Pray for yourself and other people.

Reach out to those who need help.

Think of creative ideas, put them into practice,
to keep the mind and brain healthy,
and help the immune system to remain strong.
Coronavirus will pass. Nothing is permanent!

How are you coping with isolation?
Drop me a line.

"It is not impermanence which make us suffer.
What makes us suffer is wanting things to
be permanent, when they are not."
