Corona kaal(time) during lockdown should be seen as a oppourtunity not as a threat.Don’t be panic and don’t make other people to be panic during lockdown.
1. Fear Zone : During this type of thought process, some people believe on face book, message, wartsapp message, fake news and other social rumors. People should believe only on government’s notification, which is circulated by the Ministry of health and family welfare, Government of India. During this time we transmit our anger and fear related emotions to others and complain all the time. We hoard food, toilet paper and medicine and other house hold items that will create problems for other people and during this one may make unnecessary gathering and violate social distancing. In this time, people should only believe on the health bulletin which addressed by Indian council of medical research. Don’t be panic and don’t make other people to be panic during lockdown.
2. Lession Zone: This is a type of learning zone from where, some people should take lesion from others, who is having positive attitudes and make others happy and fearless. How social workers and other government and non government agencies are helping us during this tough time. For those (first line warriors),we should never forget their contribution with full hearted efforts. We should extend our sincere thanks and well wishes to all health workers and police, and social workers who are helping us day and night. We salute those people who have left their families in home and came on road for protecting us from covid-19. We should stop compulsively consuming things that harm us, from food to news. We should identify our emotions and acknowledge everyone who are trying their level best.
It has also been seen that some peoples in our society are not following any guidelines of government, going against the lockdown and harassing, attacking, abusing, and spiting on police, doctors, nurses and social workers. They are throwing stones on them, making them injured; still our first line warriors are protecting them from covid-19. See the greatness of our warriors and their roles for our society.
Health workers and police are also getting affected by corona virus and some of them have lost their life during battle against corona. It is amazing and unbelievable activity by them. Our corona warriors are saving their lives and they are attacking and killing them by different weapons. This is very shameful and pathetic condition for our country. (Ref. India TV, Zee TV, Republic Bharat, Times Now and many mores news and TV channels).Every responsible citizen of our country should condemn this type of incidence, which are happening in different parts of our country now a days.
3. Development Zone: This type of thought process is very helpful for all of us for growth and development. As we use to say ourselves that we are not getting any time for personal growth, so we should think this time in a positive way, that god has given me plenty of time and oppourtunity for personal growth. During this period, we should spare time with our family, friends and do some productive work that will be helpful for us as well as for our organanization also. We can complete our pending research work, paper writing and other academic works also.
We can think of ways to help others and use our skills to serve the needy. We show empathy to ourselves and others and live in present and focus on the future and keep ourselves emotionally happy and transmit hope. We can find ways to change ourselves and practice on calmness, patience, relationship and creativity. During this tough time we should always keep in mind that we should survive in present and accept this situation and we should take care of others also.
Finally we can say that situation makes us strong and take this time as a opportunity not as a threat.
