All around the world right now, people are practicing self-isolation and social-distancing to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19. News reports every day track the progress and death toll that this virus has left as it spreads across the world. People are panic buying, store shelves are left empty – some people even fear this is the end of the world. These are truly desolate times.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Positivity and support can help override the tide of negativity. And you can help spread this positivity from the comfort of your, well considering the times, home.
How You Can Help
Blogging about things that make you happy, of positive moments in your life, of things that make other people smile has more of an affect than you would think. With all of us under lockdown, we are spending more time on our mobiles and CPUs and especially on the internet as we look for a way to spend the time. And when we use these devices and all we see is negativity, it has a horrible effect on our psyche. This is why we need to take a stand and spread good vibes.
If you aren’t confident in your writing ability, if perhaps you’ve never even written a blog before, there’s no need to fear! The beauty of blogging is that you don’t have to necessarily be good at it when you start off. But once you’ve begun and you find you enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life, reaching out to people all around the globe, your writing ability will improve over time. This can help you in other facets of your life, like freelance content writing to earn some additional income or perhaps it will give you that push to become the next great author with fans worldwide. Regardless, in these dark days, everyone needs to band together and find the good in one another.
Let Your Words Flow From Platform To Platform
There are so many platforms you could join to blog on. For small snippets, you could join social media platforms like Instagram or Twitter. For longer, more personal ones, there are wide arrays of platforms where you can customize and edit whole pages dedicated to the message you want to spread. And it doesn’t have to be deeply personal moments, it could be based on a good book you’ve read or a movie that you found was amazing. You can come up with recommendation lists for people under quarantine – TV shows they should binge or games they should play.
Positivity comes in many shapes and forms and there is no need to box it in – the only important thing is not to lose hope. Because we will get through this as a people and we will come out stronger. On a good day, blog about your good feelings, because someone else, thousands of miles away may be going through a tough time and seeing something pure and good will surely help them through it. If we all stand by and help each other, we can look back on this moment years later and congratulate ourselves as a species for how altruistic and selfless we were in the face of a catastrophe.
