The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a divide in the society. This can be noticed in particular in the communication between the individuals who advocate for vaccination and those who oppose it. Sometimes, this differing opinion can come from our loved ones. In this case, it is particularly important to overcome the differences, find common ground, and to not allow conflicting views to divide us.

When we are not at our best, we exhibit aggressive behaviour to others
The fact that we feel well and take care of ourselves is reflected in every situation in life, but most of all, in our communication with others. When we are tired, scared, or angry, we react more aggressively to others because our tolerance of accepting differing opinions and values is reduced. If we tend to our mental hygiene, overcome thoughts that frighten us and fill us with anger, our tolerance threshold will increase.
Taking care of mental hygiene
Taking care of mental hygiene
Engage in meditation, breathing exercises, movement, conversation, and good, regular food. Make sure you get plenty of quality sleep. Fill your space with a pleasant scent and make sure it is tidy. Reward yourself for small daily victories, buy yourself to something nice – and treat yourself just a little bit every day.
