There’s no doubt about it, these are scary times. The spread of Coronavirus and Covid-19 have much of the world in a panic, but as cooler heads prevail and measures are being taken to stop the spread, many health officials are recommending preventative social isolation. While the measure may sound extreme, it may also be necessary to mitigate the damage this virus could do, so for those worried about how to stay happy during social isolation, here are a couple of ways to do it.
Pick up the phone. Our phones are no longer phones, they’re supercomputers capable of performing thousands of different tasks, many of them simultaneously, and have evolved from being communication devices to entertainment devices. But you know what? They can still make phone calls. If you’re feeling the sting of social isolation, there’s nothing to say you can’t call up a friend, family member, or loved one, and just chat. Hearing a human voice on the other end can go a long way towards keeping you happy in troubling times, the way text never could.
Video chat. And as if it weren’t already obvious, thanks to those super capable smartphones, or any other camera-equipped device, we can add an element of video to those voice calls. Long the tool of long distance relationships, video chat will never replace the feeling of someone being there, but it’ll go a long long way towards combating loneliness and keeping you happy.
