With the COVID-19 situation, many people find themselves spending a lot more time at home. Even when lockdown measures are dropped, a lot of people may not feel comfortable going outside and may continue working from home. As the second wave of infection is expected, it’s very likely that many will be spending a lot more time indoors. While this is a stressful situation, it can also provide some opportunities for personal and professional development. Let’s look at a few tips to make the most of the situation.
Set Realistic Goals
The first step is to be realistic. It can be tempting to think that this is the time to finish all those online courses or finally learn a new language. But it’s not realistic to fit all our goals into this time or to expect to master a new area or skill. The most common mistake people make in the process of self-improvement is trying to do too much. Rather, try to identify a realistic timeline and set a goal that brings you closer to your long-term objectives. A good tip is to focus on a single goal at a time and devote yourself to it.
Choose Something That Motivates You
Year after year, many people choose weight loss as their goal, but not all people are motivated by this. Since it seems everyone else has this goal, many choose to make the same goal. They also may choose it because it seems like the right thing to do. That means that they also set themselves up for failure by choosing an objective that doesn’t inspire them. Look for goals that make you feel enthusiastic, excited, curious, or engaged.
Practice Self-Compassion
We often approach personal development from a rigid position: we have to, we must. We chastise ourselves for failing and are harsh in regards to our goals because we feel that this will make it easier for us to accomplish what we want.
At ARC Psychiatry, we never want you to feel out of options. With multiple locations in the Northeast Ohio area, we provide a full spectrum of care to safely and effectively address varying levels of behavioral health disorders in adults 18 and older. We have a compassionate staff of experienced providers who offer cutting edge testing and treatments, such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and genetic testing.
