How To Eliminate Fatigue When Living With Covid-19?

According to psychologists, the Covid-19 pandemic can be compared to a "trauma", both causing damage to physical health and negatively affecting the psychology and mental health of people. Fatigue during Covid-19 time can be from the main reasons as follows:
  • Social Distancing has leaded to not having direct connections with people, causing emotional exhaustion and loneliness
  • WFH, restricted movements need new adaption, new skills to maintain connecting, relationship & maintaining energy. But not fully 100% of staff know how to do well that leads to low productivity, low contact, low effectiveness in working because it changes most our daily habits in working
  • Being infected with Covid-19 (F0, F1,..) must be quarantined, constant social distancing also has made us feel anxious, hopeless, loss direction, …in addition to health issue and treatment methods (Vaccination, medicines…)
  • Loosing job resulting in loss of income/property causes stress stress or conflicts
