Feeling Normal Again
COVID is still around (I have it here as I type) but the pandemic does seems to be winding down. It’s not gone but it’s time to start rebuilding our lives, our relationships, our jobs and our mental health.
This little book was a pretty good guide to how to heal from 2 years of pandemic hell. After the first few chapters entitled: How Did We Get Here?, Where Are We Now? and The Media’s Role is the fourth chapter on How Are You Feeling? For each potential impact to our lives, it is discussed in detail. Impacts such as sleep problems, anxiety, COVID PTSD and so much more.
Chapter 5 is your personal emotional toolbox and includes tools such as treat your body well, focus on the positive and renew friendships and start new ones. A lot of this information IS straight forward and may be obvious but sometimes you need obvious written down in an order to actually start it. Have you ever known you should do something but didn’t do it till you’ve seen it written in a book or article?
Chapters 6-11 cover a range of other topics but Chapters 4 and 5 contain the majority of the text.
Copies of this book should be in every library. It’s time we get back to normal.
