Personal Improvement through Spirituality and Technology
Practice to Explore the Spiritual Dimensions of Your Life
I am not affiliated with any religious group because I think spirituality requires freedom stemming from focusing myself. However, I always spend several minutes meditating on different issues. It is difficult to develop a disciplined and uninterrupted meditation routine without a framework of guidance and challenging to move from one level to another. Coherently, I use the framework of yoga. Prior to the Covid-19 outbreak, I enrolled in classes at a center in our neighborhood. However, the case is different because of the outbreak. After the coronavirus outbreak, I have been using online yoga sessions for meditation and relaxation of mind and body. The method helps improve physical strength because of the need to stretch different body parts during the breathing exercises.
Staying Connected With Others To Receive or Provide Social Support
Internet-based communication channels are the main platforms I have been using to receive and provide social support during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is an effective way that allow one to engage in essential activities for livelihood and value addition. For example, in regard to education, zoom has helped connect with teachers and colleagues to accomplish various learning objectives.
Role Model
I think I can be serving as a role model to my colleagues. The idea of becoming a nurse is to help people live healthier and cope with diverse health-related challenges.
