Now is a time for hope that the virus will become reasonably contained, and effective treatment for the illness and immunisation against it will come sooner rather than later. Character strengths are forged in the cauldron of stress and challenge, and help us get through difficult times. As we await better news, we can broaden our focus beyond the virus without diminishing its impact.
Turn to your strengths of perseverance and love of learning to work on projects you may now have time to attend to.
Don’t set your aspirations aside. Try to keep forward progress when you can.
Success in life requires living by your values and drawing down on your strengths. Only you choose what sort of person to be during these trying times.
My advice is to stop trying to control how you feel and instead control what you do.
Ultimately, the best way to prevail over anxiety and despair whether you are struggling with separation, divorce or coping with Coronavirus and its impacts on our lives, is to focus on and use your best personal qualities.
