We have been stuck in our homes for the past few months due to COVID-19. With the COVID-19 pandemic, we are living through a world crisis the likes of which haven’t been seen in 100 years.
The enormous scale of the crisis and the impact it is having are naturally causing a lot of fear, uncertainty, and anxiety across the globe. Add social isolation, disrupted work and family routines, cabin fever, and economic instability, and, understandably, our mental health is suffering.The COVID-19 situation is particularly stressful because it’s hard to predict how things will develop and because our circumstances are changing rapidly. This can leave us feeling powerless, like we’re no longer in control of our own lives. As is the case in many aspects of our lives, there are things we can’t control in this situation. These include the actions and reactions of other people, how long the situation will last, and what might happen in the future.Although these things might leave us feeling helpless, in reality, there are still a lot of things we have power over in our lives, even during these trying times. Redirecting our energy towards these things will help us deal effectively with this situation.As the situation is getting better, the borders have been opened, and the lockdown has been lifted. We have tried to come out of our shells to reconnect with nature, while still following the government's safety protocol. I know everyone is so excited to go out as we've been stuck in our homes for what feels like forever. About Carnaza IslandCarnaza Island, Daanbantayan, Cebu Danbantayan’s gorgeous gem, one of the few remaining Visayan Islands, can aptly be described as "idylic," the whole 173 hectares of it.
