How I Somehow Overcome My Fear Over This Pandemic .. I am the kind of person who always finds good in every bad situation. And that bad experiences make us stronger.
To this day I still tell myself that this is just a dream and I wish I could wake up.
I wish I could get out of the house and breathe the air safely ,that I wouldn’t get sick of the virus.
But this COVID-19 Pandemic is real.
Like everyone else, my husband and I remain at home and out of work.
I wear masks when I go to the bank or the grocery stores or anywhere I need to go.
But I thank God that I have a few savings available at a time like this. We had some food to eat and my kids didn’t go hungry even after months of lockdown.
Like many mothers I fear for my family. Not only for the health of my husband and children, even for my parents in the province, and for my siblings in faraway places. But I know that praying to God will save us from this pandemic and I hope that rescue will happen soon.
How I somehow overcome my fear to this pandemic?
The early days of lockdown were often spent watching the news and browsing on Facebook.
But focusing on social media seemed to give me more fear. Looking at the videos on FB of people young or old COVID patients with difficulty breathing made me feel worst.
So I avoided social media.
I spent my time studying and learned a lot of skills. I registered for free digital marketing trainings conducted by DICT. Here I joined free trainings online. I learned about social media marketing, keyword research, freelancing and photoshop graphic design.
So far I have created a website and started blogging.
Experts say the work from home will be in demand. So I figured out I’d should learn these skills since I joined as an affiliate marketer at Lazada. I’ll try to work from home.
This Pandemic made me realized that at this age (I’m 46) I can still train and learn, I realized that there is much more I can do.
Having a website and start blogging is a great accomplishment for me. And I did it all during the lockdown.
Tomorrow our city will undergo what is called the general community quarantine. This means a broader implementation of quarantine. For me it should be done carefully.
