封锁会如何影响我们的心理健康?

心理健康专家奥利维亚·雷梅斯为我们提供了一些答案……

奥利维亚-是的，我们绝对可以。由于封锁，我们的精神健康受到了影响，它仍然受到影响，但我们可以做一些事情。在这次封锁期间，很多人经历的第一件事就是失去意义和目的。很多人，你知道，我们都在家工作，每天似乎都是一样的，没有什么新的事情发生，没有什么值得期待的。因为我们没有什么值得期待的东西，那种愿景让我们失去了生活的意义和目的，而找回它是非常重要的。有一个有趣的研究是维克多·弗兰科做的，他是一位著名的神经学家。他过去照顾战俘。她注意到关键，那些活下来的囚犯和那些没活下来的囚犯之间的关键区别在于他们的生活是否有意义和目的。那么，我们怎样才能找回意义和目的呢?或者，如果你觉得自己没有意义和目的，那你怎么才能培养它呢?你可以做的一件事是找到你热爱的事情，或者找到一项你认为你会喜欢的任务，甚至只是一个项目，你知道，并在它上取得定期进展。 Even if it's for 45 minutes each day, because this can really make a significant difference to your mental health. It can get that meaning and purpose back when you know that you're working towards something. The other thing is we've been stuck inside so much and we haven't really had much of a chance to engage with other people to connect with others. That our minds have become prone to wandering, mind wandering, to daydreaming. You know, we're stuck inside with our thoughts, our minds are running away. But what is interesting is that the more we daydream, the more our minds wander, the more prone we are to depression and to poor mental health. People don't really think about that. That's why I think it's quite an interesting finding because ruminating and thinking a lot about things can actually predispose you to depression and mental health problems. So what is the antidote to that. Well focus on your present task - this pulls you out of your thoughts and it makes you focus on the present moment.

菲尔-这就是正念，对吧，奥利维亚。

奥利维亚:当然。绝对的。
