STAY CONNECTED

In this time of coronavirus pandemic, we experience feelings of fear, hopelessness, stress, uncertainty and sometimes even terror and panic. In a situation that’s totally beyond our control, what can we do to help?

Self-isolation, physical distancing, and washing hands are all practical actions that, by now, should have become habits.

Humans are social creatures, however. We need to stay connected and, more than ever before, we need to distance in order to socialize. Thankfully, this is easier and more possible In the digital era. Emotions spread more quickly and without any kind of physical barrier. Emotions are more contagious than any virus (Dr. Deepak Chopra).

While staying informed about the ongoing crisis through the media, we should keep in mind the need to balance negative emotions with positive.
Negative emotions release chemical substances in our bodies like adrenaline and cortisol, which cause inflammation that weakens our immune systems.
Positive emotions, on the other hand, release peptides like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, which help stimulate the immune system.

In sharing beautiful images of remote locations and cute, compelling creatures I hope to bring into your daily life a few seconds of joy to help you ease any discomfort you may be feeling in the moment.
