Coronavirus — Get The Positive Thoughts and Focus

It’s crisis time right now. There is a big worldwide crisis. Almost every country has people with Coronavirus. A deadly virus for the elderly and people with health issues. But everyone could get the virus — with or without knowing having Coronavirus.

This virus has a lot of effects on how we living at the moment; the Coronavirus hits us all anyhow. It hits us financially, healthy, you’re children staying at home, you’re a freelancer and have no work at the moment.

In this time, we need to get more positive thoughts and get focused on what matters in our life. I hear a lot of people thinking negatively about the virus and the situations there are in at the moment. Some people do have a bad situation right now. We all need to be there for them. We need to do something positive for them, but also, at the same time, we have to get the best out of the situation. We have to be there for our children, we have to do it together, positively.

We all have to be there for each other and with each other. Even on a distance. It is hard not to see your (grand)parents (I don’t have one anymore, but I am thinking what I’ve done if they were still alive), but at this time, we have to behold onto positive thoughts. That is what we need at the moment. Support each other whenever whatever and whoever you can. Think about doing the groceries for your neighbors, calling your (grand)parents every day to check how they are.

One is working as a freelancer, the other one is the owner of a company, the other one has a café. All these people have issues with how they get their future back. They have worked so hard for what they had but are all gone because of closing their business temporarily. They don’t know much they lost and what they get compensated from whom. That is what they are trying to get to know. This is an uncertain time for them.

Parents need to stay home, you have to work from home and help your children with their homework at the same time. Schools are closed right now. Children are doing their schoolwork at home, we as parents need to help them while we have to do our work as well. So all hands on deck at the moment to make everything work fo all parties.

Also, not to forget, stay focus on what matters to do, to what you did before the Coronavirus hit us all. I mean, try to live as normally as you can. Yes, I feel that this is a rare time, but also I try to live as normal as possible. Have a great schedule that fits with you (and your children, and whomever you meet when necessary). Also don’t go grocery shopping too much at one time, because things will still be there, it will be too much for the grocery store workers. There will be enough food, toilet paper, and soap.

So, keep positive and stay focused.

I am worried that this virus is more dangerous than we might know. Science must tell.
