Robert's Corner: “Hope: During and After Covid-19”

Today on Robert’s Corner, I talk about hope and why it’s vital for our recovery during and after a storm like Covid-19. Hope is seen like something that happens after a storm takes a positive turn forward. However, that is not always the case for how things are today.

Disclaimer: I am not a medical professional, so if you are in crisis, please seek professional medical attention.

I always like starting my episodes with a quote:

“The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

- Winston Churchill

Perception is an interesting thing. I said this in a previous episode that someone’s good news is another’s bad news. This month is Mental Health Month. Being a facilitator for NAMI, we know the last principle of support: “We never give up hope.” I find hope very useful in times of crisis and days like now. The idea of hope is fundamentally healing. It was a huge step to say that I am actually looking forward to what is next.

Next week we will continue this journey deeper in hope and its impact on us, during and after the storm.

The “storm” being COVID-19.
