How lockdown has been triggering & impacting our mental health


Listen Later

Lockdown has been affecting everyone in different ways. Some are productive & are able to continue pursuing tasks & goals as there’s a lot more free time, however for others this has been an exhausting & unproductive time which creates a lot negative feelings & shame. I personally have been managing to be preoccupied with tasks that I’ve been able to set myself, at the expense of it taking a lot of mental energy & determination to push through the resistance. Perhaps a lot of us are feeling this way, but the question is why? We’re able to set our minds to something that we’d like to do, but the body isn’t actually able to pursue with it. My experience of this is that lockdown has triggered unhealed parts of my self that have previously felt they had no control over the lifestyle at that time, which resonates to the current circumstances of being in the unknown. Hence why, lockdown has affected my mental health as it feels ‘stuck within time’ & I do feel it’s important to understand & differentiate the past experiences to the present, in order to push through mental resistance. Please feel free to comment & message me to share your experiences during lockdown & if you’ve had any insights of why you’re being affected.
