How To Deal With Stress During Quarantine

0

During this pandemic, coping with the disruption in your normal routine may be stressful. Isolation may leave you feeling like you have no control. You may feel cut off from the rest of the world and experience cabin fever, leading to irritability or emotional exhaustion.

There are some simple online tools to help you if you’re feeling stressed because of your job, loss of income, or health fears for yourself and your family. For some, this may have affected sleep or eating patterns.

You may be having difficulty concentrating. You may feel guilt about not being able to perform normal work or parenting duties during quarantine. Money worries are real as well — you may be coping with less income, wondering who’s going to be bringing in the money, how you’re going to pay bills, whether you should dip into savings and whether you should take on anything new right now.

But the quarantine is a chance for us to come together, not just in small family units but even globally. Taking care of yourself, your friends and your family can help you cope with stress. Helping others through their stressful moments can help make your community stronger.

What you can do to support yourself:

  • Take breaks from watching, reading or listening to news stories, including on social media. Hearing about the pandemic repeatedly can be upsetting. Avoid obsessing over endless coronavirus coverage — choose only credible websites, and use them for a limited amount of time each day, maybe two chunks of 30 minutes each.
  • Take care of your body. Take deep breaths, stretch or meditate. Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals, exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep and don’t overindulge in alcohol.
  • Make time to unwind — perform activities you enjoy.
  • Connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you’re feeling.
  • Try to keep up with regular routines — create a schedule for learning activities and relaxing or fun activities.
  • Stay active to feel better and maintain your fitness level — activity can combat the sense of malaise and boredom that can come from being stuck inside day after day. Check out exercise videos, bodyweight exercises, online workouts and fitness apps.
  • Find ways to stay occupied to provide a sense of purpose and competency, something to look forward to each day.
  • List some things you’d like to accomplish, and then start checking a few things off your list each day.
  • Stay connected — use phone, text, email, messaging and video calls to keep in touch with friends and relatives. Support others — reassure a friend who’s feeling stressed out or worried.

Remember too that you can reframe “I’m stuck inside” to “I can finally focus on my home and myself.” Doing one productive thing per day can lead to a more positive attitude. Set your sights on long-avoided tasks — reorganize, or take on a new challenge.

Fall 2020: The Uncertainty Surrounding College Enrollment

0

The COVID-19 pandemic is changing our world, and there’s no answer for when we’ll be able to resume life as we knew it before. One major change in question is the future of universities and how students, especially incoming freshmen, can expect to receive higher education. This year, colleges across America transitioned to remote learning in early March, meaning many left campus for Spring Break and never returned.

Since then, college students around the world have not stepped foot on campus, and there’s much uncertainty regarding how this coming fall semester will look as well. Amidst all these changes, incoming college students are faced with an important question, “Should I consider taking a gap semester?” We’ll discuss what universities are currently doing, and what students may want to think about before embarking on their fall semester.

Our Current Situation

Incoming freshmen have already missed out on senior year highlights, including prom and graduation. And by now, many have already determined where they will attend college. But amid global uncertainty, the new question of whether they should even begin taking classes in the fall has arisen.

The trajectory of coronavirus in America has proven unpredictable, which is why most universities do not yet know what the fall semester will look like. Many colleges around the country have expressed their intent in returning to in-person instruction in the fall. Others are publicly debating whether or not to keep students off-campus until 2021. Either way, it’s become evident that things will likely not return 100 percent back to normal by the time August rolls around. But to what degree social distancing will still need to be enforced is up in the air. This means that in all likelihood, incoming freshmen will be facing a different reality during their first semester as college students than they originally would have expected. 

Online vs. In-Person Education

College is a place to network, develop bonds and work closely with world-class faculty. Online learning, while effective to a degree, can deprive students of these in-person interactions typically experienced throughout one’s on-campus college career.

A new survey conducted by Simpson Scarborough explored how current college students and high school seniors felt about the transition to online classes. Of the nearly 1,100 participants, 50 percent said it was “worse” and 13 percent said “a lot worse” than in-person instruction.1 Many colleges have extended the deadline for students to accept college acceptance offers, and amidst all this chaos, the decision is truly a hard one. In addition, incoming freshmen have had the added disadvantage of missing out on campus tours and in-person interviews. 

Financial Implications

If universities don’t open back up for in-person instruction, students and their families must face the reality of deciding if it’s worth paying tuition and enrolling for the fall semester. The pandemic has already taken an enormous toll on families worldwide, and if incoming college students don’t get the in-person instruction and experience they are supposed to receive, they might consider a gap year.

In that Scarborough survey, when the high school students were asked how likely it was that they will go to college in the fall as they had planned, a fifth of respondents said it was likely or highly likely that they would not attend because of the pandemic.1 Not only is this worrisome for incoming freshmen, but it’s also concerning to the universities as well. Colleges, like so many businesses and individuals, will face financial hardship as a direct result of the current pandemic. 

Students across America are hoping to return to campus in the fall, but the reality of this decision is still unknown. Whether you’re an incoming freshman or the parent of one, it’s important to sit down with your family and decide what you’re all comfortable with doing. If the colleges you applied to have offered an extension on committing, take that extra time to see if the coming weeks or months will provide a clearer vision of what this fall may look like.

3 Habits to Stay Positive in Today’s World

0

If you are positive, the world seems positive to you. Undoubtedly, it is all about the viewpoint that we have. What we feel, comes back to us; and that is the reason why most of the motivational and self-development coaches emphasize the importance of staying positive. Positivity is significant, and we all crave it. However, sometimes we feel bewildered with our daily struggles and obstacles, that it’s tough to keep the right attitude in our lives.

“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as ‘we’ are.” – Anais Nin

 Straight to the point, let’s find out the 4 habits that will help us to stay positive in life.

Try to find the brighter side.

If you’ve experienced a difficulty, think about any good that it may have brought into your life. Remember, every dark cloud has a silver lining (or at least many dark clouds do). It is just a matter of understanding how you see it. We all face problems in our lives, but at least having a life is reason enough to find the strength to live on the brighter side of things.

There is always something positive in front of us; we just have to be aware and open to it.

Surround yourself with positivity

Your environment creates a tremendous impact on your overall personality. The people you spend your time with, the type of music you listen to, the type of movies you watch, everything has an effect on your thinking. If you are ready to bring a change and wish to stay more positive, let’s do a small activity. Think about:

– the 3 negative people that surround you daily or weekly, and

– the 3 bad habits that are obstructing your true goals.

Once you figure these out, simply try to get rid of those people and habits from your sphere as soon as you can. That will make a big difference in you!

Take it easy

Surprisingly, the natural tendency that many people experience is that they lose their hopes by seeing the problem surrounding them. It not only makes them negative but also can affect their decision-making skills on many levels.

Once you feel stuck in a situation, take a deep breath, and think about it with a free mind. Don’t get negative that you have lost everything; deem about how to deal with the situation in the best way possible. Try to refocus or ask someone for help. Notably, with this approach, you can surely stay more positive even in your toughest scenarios.

With the above thoughts in mind, take a deep breath and try to stay positive & happy in the journey of life and, try to make the most out of it.

Here’s to your health!

Victor Lopez is Trump’s new campaign advisor for the Hispanic vote

0

The spanish advisor will be in charge of designing the entire strategy for capturing the Hispanic vote.

He was born in Catalonia, but he has spent a lifetime working on political campaigns in Latin America and Europe.

No one could imagine that this 38-year-old Spaniard, with a strong voice and polite manners, reached the top of American politics as soon as he was appointed advisor to President Donald Trump’s campaign team for Latin America. This has not made him break with his roots, as he frequently travels to Barcelona, the city where Kayros Group was founded and where the company headquarters are located. He leads over 100 Kayros professionals spread across Spain, Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, Panama, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Dominican Republic and El Salvador among others.

As far as we know, today, his life runs between Washington, Barcelona, Santo Domingo and his beloved El Salvador, where he spends most of his time. Considered one of the one hundred most influential political Spaniards in America, he worked alongside the former special assistant to President Barack Obama and senior director for Western Hemisphere Affairs at the National Security Council, Daniel Restrepo, joined by a personal friendship. This time he will be in charge of designing the entire strategy for capturing the Hispanic vote.

Victor Lopez

Victor Lopez is considered one of the top 25 Ibero-American political consultants and has won several awards and recognitions for his campaign projects and political communication experience. In 2018 he won the ‘Campaign of the Year award’ from the Napolitan Victory Awards. In 2017 he was granted with the ‘Revelation Consultant of the Year’ category and also with the ‘Technology of the Year’ award, in addition to several nominations. The Napolitans are the most prestigious recognitions in this matter and internationally recognized as the Oscars of politics, notes The Washington Academy on its website.

In the last ten years, he has achieved broad victories in electoral elections for the candidates he has advised, including Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Political entities from Mexico, the United States, the Cayman Islands, Aruba, Guatemala, Ecuador, El Salvador, Spain, Ireland and the Caribbean are added. He is known for having worked in many campaigns as a political strategist for Mariano Rajoy, former president of Spain; Michel Martelli and Jovenel Moïse / Laurent Lamothe, Presidency of the Republic of Haiti / former Prime Minister of Haiti; Aécio Neves, candidate for the Presidency of Brazil; Danilo Medina and Leonel Fernandez, Presidency of the Dominican Republic; Alden McLaughlin, Prime Minister of the Cayman Islands; Nayib Bukele, President of the Republic of El Salvador, José Antonio Meade candidate for the presidency of Mexico; Albert Rivera, candidate for the Presidency of Spain and, recently during the global pandemic of Covid19, with Otto Sonnenholzner, Vice President of Ecuador among many others.

This media contacted the Kayros Group director for the United States, Cristina Costa, who stated that “our worldwide experts are highly qualified with more than a decade of proven track record experience providing results to the most successful governments, political parties and prominent public and political figures having worked under the utmost discretion in countless campaigns. Our firm prefers not to reveal the names of our clients. Our president’s agenda is private and confidential”.
