YES, IT IS EXHAUSTING BUT YOU ARE NOT FAILING

Before now, many won’t come to the same page as others who will say that “being isolated from outdoor activities can be completely exhausting”. But after this voluntary self-isolation (lockdown) which comes as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, it has been reported that masses have come to agree with this shocking discovery.

Do you know why?

Many have started working from home. Lots barely seeing people, meetings are now being done over phones and computers, and many now have very little contact with the human. And the whole truth of this is that it is getting exhausting; particularly to those who would normally go to their offices – this category of people have been observed to have been really struggling with the new balance.

Focusing on work is harder than before.

Reading gets tiring, and one gets to feel more drained even with the little being done compared to what was done before the pandemic outbreak. But the simple truth that should be known is that……

You are not lazy as you think.

You are feeling completely normal and reasonable.

Over the decade there is a practice that has work well from inspirational and motivational speakers. It is no other than Positive Self-talk. This is because, psychologically, the more you chose to talk to yourself in a positive way, the more positively you tend to feel about yourself.

With this coronavirus outbreak, social media has begun drowning in coronavirus contents. Panicked posts, messages of warning and this get to some people; making them feel worried and scared. And consistency in this panicked post will/has resulted in a constant feeling of anxiousness or burdened which seems not to go away anytime soon.

And beyond doubt, many underrate how much energy it takes for some people to navigate and manage their life when being overrun with a harmful or negative message at every hour of the day.

Now you see it is no wonder you feel exhausted and drained even when life feels normal in every other outward respect.

Here is just 1 out of the 3 reasons of what causes the feeling of you being inefficient and lazy even in what you have as your routine?
