During a time of uncertainty and unease, it is understandable that humanity experiences mixed emotions. No matter what your views are on this global invader, there are a few things that each of us should consider.

Historically speaking, there have been numerous epidemics and pandemics of various magnitudes. While each of them comes with different characteristics and leaves an undesired toll in its wake, there is one certainty. Each crisis does end, as will Coronavirus. There are some things that each of us can do in this troubled time to overcome and prepare for a better recovery.

If you are one of the millions who find yourself out of work or confined to home, why not use this to your advantage?

• Catch up on the projects and things you have been needing or wanting to do before the pandemic crisis arrived.
• Clean the garage, organize the bills, straighten out the closet, paint a room, etc.
• If you are a crafty type, then what a perfect time to create works of art.
• Maybe you thought about being a writer. It won’t take long to write or complete the first draft of a Novel with all this free time.
• There are plenty of volunteer opportunities online looking for help. An excellent way to both be a person who contributes and be positive.
• If you have been considering a career change or looking to move up the ladder once you return to work, this is your chance to hone skills, take a course, don’t forget volunteer work helps here.

While the pandemic is undoubtedly damaging and brings negative impacts, we as humans should prove that we will overcome this. We will turn this around, and the way to do that is not through fear, impulse; instead, it’s through planning and achieving new goals. For each of us, the goal at hand is to prepare for more stable times and recovery, which are forthcoming.
