And honestly, I&#8217;m very intrigued\u00a0about how we&#8217;re going to remember this moment.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time\u00a0in history, \u00absocial distance\u00bb and \u00abstaying at home\u00bb have been the tools chosen to preserve human life.<\/p>\n<p>While almost all of us understand that quarantine is the correct response, we\u00a0are not well prepared for this confinement. From the physiological, to the emotional, and the financial, most\u00a0of us feel deprived in some way. This creates enormous inner anguish and a lot of anxiety\u00a0as we sense an uncertain future.<\/p>\n<p>In order to list actions we can take to prepare ourselves and those around us\u00a0at this very moment, I would\u00a0like to\u00a0address quickly\u00a0how\u00a0depression and anxiety\u00a0affect our mental behavior. Depression looks to the past, while anxiety focuses on the future.<br \/>\nInterestingly\u00a0enough, this reflects the\u00a0pendular movement of our mind; moving tirelessly from the past to the future, and from the future to the past.<\/p>\n<p>We may\u00a0\u201cbe\u201d\u00a0in the present moment, but not think\u00a0about\u00a0the present moment.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re constantly distracting ourselves by doing or thinking of other things that remove us from the present.\u00a0 In quarantine, our minds are either thinking and building on a\u00a0daunting\u00a0future, or recalling memories of a better, but lost past.<br \/>\nIn this constant fluctuation, we&#8217;ve forgotten what \u201cto\u00a0be\u201d actually means. If we\u00a0sit in the present\u00a0moment\u00a0and examine our cognitive processes \u2013 this will bring us back to \u201cbeing,\u201d which can\u00a0definitely\u00a0reduce the\u00a0root\u00a0of\u00a0anxiety and depression. \u00a0These actions can help us navigate this\u00a0profoundly intense\u00a0time, in which we were asked, overnight, to stop our ordinary\u00a0way of life.<\/p>\n<p>During the next 4 Saturdays, we will explore six areas that can help to improve our well-being.
