Hello Everyone,
Namaste.
NAMI INDIA takes helping those struggling with mental health conditions seriously. In these times of lockdown, our condition may be exasperated by the changes to our normal routines. If any of you out there is struggling due to a shortage of medications, please do shout out to us and we will help you.
Taking your medications regularly and following healthy mind practices is the key to riding out this pandemic. Whatever be your condition, we suggest a few things to ensure that you stay stable.
Firstly ensure you do some physical exercises every day. Even while sitting or sleeping one can lift one’s legs to and fro. Arms can be lifted to and fro. In the Indian context, the best exercise may be yogic pranayama and Asanas which are easy. Remember to keep fifteen minutes of your time for doing exercises or Yoga. Those of whom like more active stuff, you may turn on an aerobic video or just dance away to some foot tapping music. If you are in a containment zone, you can only do so much at home.
Secondly, please keep a thankfulness journal. Write down something good that happened today.
What you have, for example a roof over the head, your medications, good food etc. This will help uplift your mood.
Thirdly, phone a friend. If you don’t have a friend you can always call or email NAMI INDIA. We are here to assist you and connect you to resources.
With this, I sign off.
Phir Milenge.
