Emphasis on Social Support Systems
Calo places great value in his relationships, as his support system has helped him overcome stressful periods in his life. With the current COVID-19 pandemic, Calo makes sure to check in on his family and friends and dedicate time towards connecting and socializing with them. He also enjoys sharing and reflecting on his day with his partner as it allows them to support each other mentally and emotionally.
With social distancing in place, social cues that normally drive our daily routines have become more obscure. We no longer have a clear understanding of what other people are doing since many physical institutions and workplaces that normally drive our behaviors have shut down. Staying connected with our support systems during this time can help us better cope with the struggles of social isolation, such as loneliness and lack of routine. By seeing what our loved ones are doing, we can help each other plan more productive and healthier daily routines!
