"Now that you know remote working doesn't have to bring a disturbed headspace, let’s use your digital space to build a happy head."
Remote Work, Remote Therapy
Remote work can challenge your mental wellbeing. It can change you from optimistic, productive working assets into tired, procrastinating, unmotivated employees.
Before you hit rock bottom, learn to identify the symptoms of declining mental health and address them immediately. Plus, you can never go wrong with daily meditation and self-care routine to keep your head happy.
Take smart steps to improve your mental health and dust-off depression, anxiety, burnout or stress.
In the last few decades, we have swiftly started to shift doing things remotely; we are working remotely, shopping remotely and guess what healthcare services have gone online too. With the pandemic bite, with some comfortable and not-so-comfortable hassles, we survived and learnt various life-hacks.
The past few months were overwhelming for most of us if not all. While maintaining social distancing, we became victims of the pandemic's pitfalls, and every walk of our lives was adversely affected. From our work to our relationships to our personal mental health suffered constant hits.
Have you noticed a change in your behaviour and mood since you started to work remotely? Let's see what we experienced while we were working remotely and were cut off from social connection:
Too much noise.
Too many demands.
Too many complaints.
Too much conflict.
Too much to be.
Staying with your family without any break can be overwhelming. There are high chances of conflicts when you cannot take a break for yourself to create a breathing space. How to cope in such trying times? One surely feels guilt to feel this way, but your feelings are valid.
Wondering why did I list all these symptoms? Because living with depression, overwhelm, stress and anxiety are not okay. First things first, ask for help, it's brave. One needs help to keep a check on their mental wellbeing.
In the digitalized online world, there must be a smart solution to everything. And this is where I advocate for online therapy. Want to know the perks? Well, see these
Wait, there are more!
Self-help resources to help you maintain mental hygiene and practice mindfulness as your daily routine!
Online therapies or remote therapies are definitely the next big thing.
Technology is already making things better. Just like we have physical fitness apps and trackers, GPS and other applications help track Dementia patients and take better care of them. Virtual reality is making significant changes to cure phobias and anxiety. Prosthetics are being used to induce positive attitude to cope with losses.
So, when the world is accelerating towards remote work, let's choose smart solutions to attend our wellbeing with remote therapy. The potential is limitless. You don't have to participate in things you don't want to, match your frequency with the world remotely. There might be some cons to it, but the pros are more tempting.
Now that you know remote working doesn't have to bring a disturbed headspace, let’s use your digital space to build a happy head.
