Dear friend, I am sorry to hear that you have contracted COVID. It is understandable that you are worried about your loved ones, especially your mum and girlfriend who have long-term diseases. It is natural to feel anxious and uncertain during these difficult times, and you are not alone in your fears. Please know that I am here for you and that there are steps you can take to manage your fears and protect your loved ones.
From a Buddhist perspective, it is important to acknowledge and accept our fears and anxieties. We can sit with these emotions and observe them without judgment or resistance. We can also cultivate compassion and loving-kindness towards ourselves and others, including our loved ones who are vulnerable to the virus. From a psychological perspective, it is helpful to focus on what we can control, such as wearing masks, washing our hands, and social distancing. It is also important to stay connected with our loved ones, even if it is through virtual means, and to seek support from friends, family, or professionals if needed.
In terms of coaching advice, I would suggest that you take the following actions. Firstly, prioritize your own health and well-being by following the guidelines from public health officials and seeking medical attention if necessary. Secondly, communicate openly and honestly with your loved ones about your fears and concerns, and work together to develop a plan for their safety. This may involve temporarily distancing yourself from them or taking extra precautions when you are around them. Finally, practice self-care and self-compassion by engaging in activities that bring you joy and relaxation, such as meditation, exercise, or spending time in nature.
