The Coronavirus – use self defense and fight back
March 27th, 2020For those of us that have been on an aeroplane, do you remember the part in the safety announcement where they say, “Pull down the mask from above your head and place it over your mouth, do this before you help others.” That action applies to where we are now in our existence – we need to look after our health so we can help others.
The Coronavirus is a weapon of mass disruption and at this moment in time we are fighting an invisible enemy – it attacks and knocks us back. We are under a global attack but we will triumph, we just don’t know when. We all know what is happening around the world, we watch the news and keep up to date with the statistics and developments. The symptoms of the virus and the guidelines to prevent the spread between humans are very clear. There’s no doubt that staying at home is our best option to reduce the spread of the infection at the moment.
How can we fight back against this silent enemy?
We can fight back by using self defense strategies. We have all grown up knowing that self defense is protection, whether you are walking in an unlit area or fighting a disease. Most of the time when we are physically restricted – we fight back, if we are ill – we fight back.
When we are in a high risk environment we need to act to protect ourselves by:
- Focusing on your attacker’s vulnerable areas. We need to keep testing and finding a vaccine to destroy the Coronavirus
- Put safety strategies in place. We need to keep building awareness, creating boundaries and using social distancing. Avoiding busy areas or public transport if possible
- Equip yourself to deal with danger. We need to use very good hygiene by washing our hands properly, using hand sanitiser and through wearing protective accessories like gloves and masks
Why are we under attack? Why us, why now?
This current situation is surreal, it’s almost like a movie and we don’t know the answer to those questions.
Perhaps this is God or Mother Nature’s way of saying, “Stop, go to your room and think about what you’ve done to this planet and to each other. Get your priorities right and support those who need you. Value those that are there to help you, the doctors, the nurses and other key workers.”
With positivity and determination we can do this.
What we have all learnt from this unpredictable situation is that our health is the most important thing in our lives. We need to be in good health to help ourselves and others, to be able to help in times of need and comfort, in times of loneliness and sadness.
Mental health will be challenged at this time because of isolation, loss of loved ones and financial concerns. If you are struggling, remember that you are not alone, there is help out there and you must speak to someone. We are in this together and a simple phone call or with the use of social media platforms you can reach out for help.
To help fight the virus we should try to be fit and healthy, we can do that by eating a balanced diet and taking exercise.
