How to deal with covid 19 situation and holidays Joys

The festive holiday season means more joy and happiness. Cheerful faces and emotions to live every moment of the festival with the family, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas when each family member gets together to show their love and gratitude.

For the past year 2020, whole mankind has been waiting for a natural gift of happiness and joy. Lots of people have lost their loved ones with whom they had enjoyed every moment of life and all the festivals.

In Countries like America and Canada, the covid 19 situation is not normal, though. The Pfizer vaccine has been approved for kids aged 5 through 11. In addition, booster shots are shoring up the immune defences of vaccinated adults. The Delta waves of Covid 19 have already made their impact. Every person has already suffered a lot but still hopes that life challenges will be fixed. Things are starting to feel a bit more comfortable, if not entirely expected.

According to WHO post, Washington D.C. 24 November 2021 (PAHO) – With Europe seeing record spikes in COVID-19 infections and cases rising by 23% in the Americas over the past week, the PAHO Pan American Health Organization Director Carissa F. Etienne warned there is no room for complacency in tackling the pandemic. “As end of year celebrations approach, get vaccinated, keep gatherings small and ensure mask wearing and social distancing, especially indoors,” she urged in a media briefing today. 

Lots of emotional and health challenges are here but still, we can cope with all the against situations and motivate ourselves.

How to deal with sad and lonely feelings this festive season

For some people, the festive season gives more holidays blues, sad feelings, loneliness, and depression because they are already alone and depressed.

But, this year, it may not be much different for people who are already sad.

It is essential to allow these emotions to just feel it, respect it, and not try to shrug them off. Some people get the reasons to be sadder because others are in worse situations and they think that they should not be happy.

“Restrain yourself from overthinking, respect your feelings but do not allow them to overpower you. Embrace yourself, motivate yourself, If possible, express your feelings with your friends or write it down. Spread more happiness and help to those who are needy, and this way you can help yourself.”

Live the joyful spirit and moments of this season

Festival comes with a purpose to spread love and gratitude.

This is the spirit of the festival. The family gets together, has a feast together, dance, sing, and shares emotions together. 

During the festival, families clean their houses, buy clothes, gifts, go for vacations, and do different things which they do not do in daily routine life because they want some change from the everyday life and festival gives that change.

While from 2 years daily life of a people is not exactly the same, lots of people are working from home, children are doing online schooling, People are getting relationship problems, and for some in this covid time, they got their family back. There are so many reasons, but the main focus is to live at the present moment and enjoy it. 

“Give smile to those who need it most, at least for humanity, maybe this way you will open the door of happiness for you.“
