This is a time in history where uncertainty has taken over. When will the lockdown end? Will we still have a job when the lockdown ceases? Will COVID-19 continue to claim lives, mabey including the lives of our loved ones? Overcoming fear is a process, especially in the face of an uncertain situation.
We fear what we do not understand. We know what staying at home, being unemployed and being sick means for our well-being. We are not familiar with pandemics, we are often living close to the edge financially and we are not conditioned to staying home day in and day out.
How do we begin to tackle fear? We confront it. If the fear we are confronting is unknown, we must seek to understand the real risk using an internal threat assessment. How much could we lose? Is this a novel and dangerous situation?
We must begin to map "exits". Do we have an emergency fund? Do we have a solid community that can lend us a hand, and we the same? Can we use it develop skills to survive?
The unknown scares us. We must confront our fears, conduct a risk assessment and boost our skills. The war begins when we learn who our enemy is and their full capability. The process of being proactive is key.
