What’s Your COVID IQ? -Simple Steps To Winning The Fatigue Battle

My five-year-old son would encourage his younger brother to help clean the playroom when they were little. The three-year-old would often answer, “I can’t, Jaysaynnn. I have a headache in my back.”

 That sounds like a common disease for 2020 and the beginning of 2021. My headache in my back has been COVID fatigue, political unrest, isolation…the list goes on. It has been several weeks since I have written anything. I find myself losing track of the date and the days of the week. It is time to get over it!

Do you have a “headache in your back?”

Here are some suggestions for a cure:

  • Find a way to exercise. Walk outside if possible, or go to an indoor track or gym. Do chair exercises. Get your body moving.
  • Write something on the calendar to do each day. Send a card, write a letter, call a friend. Check your goal each day, and then follow through.
  • Find a source of spiritual renewal. If you are reading this, you have access to podcasts, books, and blogs. Many churches have their services online. Many book agencies offer free or very inexpensive e-books from major book dealers. Google their names.
  • Keep a daily journal. Detail what you have done at the end of each day. If you see you have fallen into the trap of doing the same thing every day, change your routine. Take on a new hobby or resume an old one. You can order anything you need without leaving your home, and how-to videos abound.
  • Tell yourself that nothing lasts forever. Someday we will look back and see this period as just a part of our journey.
  • Be sure you tell someone that you love them every day. We have all suffered loss and heartache in the past months. The opportunity may never come again.
  • Count your blessings.

I hope these will awaken other cures for your “headache” to your mind. Remember, together with God’s help, we will undoubtedly make it through because He is faithful,we always have.

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
