The pandemic is a unique moment to question yourself, but it requires time, energy, and it is not easy to stay strong in the face of the new challenges you face .

1 – Surround yourself

As many will tell you, trials are meant to be experienced together  : no one can get through them alone.

Therefore, seek to surround yourself during the pandemic: friends, mentors, colleagues and community, this will help you move towards common goals.

However, don't look for quantity, but rather quality  : times of crisis are excellent indicators of values and state of mind.

Goodbye to toxic people who complain, make excuses, or don't want to get out of the crisis.

2 – Get organized

Pandemic times can challenge your organization or your habits. You will no longer have the same rhythm or the same priorities: you must think about organizing yourself .

Organization is not only physical through a series of appointments, it is also mental, through a visualization of your daily priorities.

Organization is the key to any success: once the storm has passed, you must ask yourself the right questions to adjust your trajectory and continue on your way.

Take a few minutes each day to focus your decision-making on the most effective actions .

 

3 – Take time for yourself

To cope with difficulties, and in particular the current pandemic, it is important to take some time for yourself .

These help you take stock, recharge your batteries, and escape from your daily grind.

A chat with a friend, an unusual beauty treatment or a pleasure purchase can all fall into this category.

So, a simple break from your hectic daily life is enough to give you what you need during a pandemic: perspective.

4 – Work on your mind

Staying strong during a difficult time requires a mind of steel .

By disciplining yourself and imposing a routine on yourself, for example, you will succeed in making this mind an unstoppable ally in the face of the pandemic. Think positive, take action, don't remain uncertain: create your world.

Your mind plays a huge role in your ability to manage conflicts, challenges, and emotions, but it requires daily attention to strengthen itself.

5 – Express your gratitude

Even though times are tough during a pandemic, and chances are you're away from some of the people you love, you should continue to express your gratitude .

This could be complimenting a friend, listening to a loved one, or reaching out to a stranger in need.

By expressing your gratitude, you strengthen your positive spirit , but also your mental state, while creating new relational connections.

These are assets in the face of a pandemic, which tends to isolate people.

6 – Offer when you can

Whether it's time, advice, or money, giving is an act of kindness to others: by giving today, you will receive tomorrow.

If this is a proverb, it is also true.

Another proverb says well: "you reap what you sow", in this case, sow something positive and offer what you can.

In times of pandemic, people are constantly searching  : these are unique opportunities to share your experience, your feelings or your projects.



7 – Set yourself goals

Especially in a pandemic context, where freedom may be restricted, you need to change your habits and outlook on things: to achieve this, set yourself goals to achieve .

Whether it's to get back into a healthy routine or strengthen your state of mind, everything is good to take.

These goals can be sporting, intellectual or emotional: it doesn't matter.

The important thing is to dedicate yourself to something, which will focus your energy and attention on that element.

8 – Maintain flexibility

Despite these goals, remember to maintain a flexible mindset, so you can seize the right opportunities even when they don't seem like they exist.

This flexibility is your source of success  : it allows you to stay alert, but also focused on your goals.

In pandemic contexts, flexibility is an essential quality to know how to adapt and survive  !

9 – Stay positive

No matter how the pandemic affects your life, you must stay strong by maintaining a high level of positivity .

This doesn't mean you can't be pessimistic or negative from time to time, but it does mean you're constantly looking for solutions , not problems.

That you see the bright side of life, in short.

To maintain this state of mind, always remember to counterbalance a stressful, difficult or extraordinary situation with a positive element.

For example: while the pandemic keeps me away from some loved ones, it allows me to spend more time with others, and that is precious.

10 – Look beyond the pandemic

You might think this is easier said than done, but in reality, this is what offers escape: a pandemic, a difficulty, an obstacle, these are by definition ephemeral, temporary elements in your life .

So you need to stay on track so as not to miss a single opportunity to achieve your life goals, whether financial, personal or professional.

By developing a long-term vision , you will be able to face the pandemic more calmly: you will build a life for yourself after the pandemic.

This idea allows you to stay stronger in every moment: it is your vision of the future.

Staying strong during a pandemic means using mental and relational reflexes to build mental strength, but also the strength to act!
