CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS
How to lead in this crisis? There are people who are losing their emotional sanity, they are losing their mental stability because we are in a very difficult time on earth.
During this pandemic our routines and structure have been lost, everything has been shaken. Some are busy and overworked like those who work in hospitals and essential businesses, while others aren’t busy at all. Some have to do more, and others have nothing to do and both are emotionally frustrating and disorienting.
You must learn to control your emotions. You can’t trust in your emotions. Don’t make important decisions right now that can cost you your health or marriage. Don’t make decisions under anger, sadness, frustration or depression.
Practical things to control your emotions:
1.- Go to bed and get up at the same time. Maintain emotional health, don’t stay up watching television all night.
2.- Shower and feel fresh. Just because you don’t have to go to work or to the university doesn’t mean you should stop doing it, but, you’re going to smell bad in a few days and that will make you feel depressed and with low emotions.
3.- Make a list of your three important projects. Every day do it and dedicate yourself to doing them. That will keep your emotions stable. Examples: “Today I am going to look for my papers to do my taxes, today I am going to complete my schedule for the university, today I am going to clean the kitchen thoroughly”, etc. everything you’ve been putting off
4.- Even a little but do it. You don’t need to have a lot of equipment or go to the gym. There are 20-minute workouts on YouTube. Start with at least 5 minutes. It will help you because perhaps you have been unstable in your emotions.
5.- Create a specific workspace in your home. Don’t study in bed, grab a corner where you are going to take your classes or if you are working, look for that place, grab normal breaks, go out and take some vitamin D.
6.- Maintain Routines and rhythms. Don’t spend all day eating and watching tv.
