Your wellness nugget: Covid-19: How has it changed you?

All have been influenced in some way by Covid-19, whether physically; mentally; financially or spiritually, the changes are evident.

How has Covid-19 changed you? Here are a few thoughts to find answers to, through typing on the laptop or writing it on paper:

• Assess and evaluate how Covid-19 changed you in any aspect of your life
• Reflect on how it was before Covid-19 and how it is now
• Complications may have risen as a result of Covid-19 – which are you experiencing?
• Coping skills may have developed due to the Covid-19 – what have you done to alleviate its effect?
• Adjustment – How have you had to adjust or adapt to the change?
• Continue – Are there any habits, behaviours or mindsets that has continued despite Covid-19
• Underlying – What underlying issues has it brought forth that you struggle with?
