The coronavirus pandemic is over...
But a little thing is missing to completely eradicate it!
It is very simple is called knowing how to listen and pay attention We are in imminent danger how is this disease of Covit 19, millions of people have been infected for a simple reason Not being able to listen. We as human beings are surrounded by many environmental, economic, psychological, and social factors and many of us live in a constant increase in the levels of sound that travel in the form of waves. A stone falls into the water circles are formed, you imagine two, three, four many would form several waves in the water.) The sounds form circles in the air are the same, but we can not see them, but if we hear in our ears and this causes that many of those of the conversations, commands, orders, we cannot listen to them especially to do certain works or activities.
To learn you need to pay close attention and forget about all the other factors that surround me and distract and take my attention away. We know that the media bombards us with daily information, from increases in cases and deaths, our brain focuses on the alarming situation in which we are living, plus the confinement of being at home, this increases the blockage in our brain, to attend or differentiate the most important things, this is why for everyone an important thing for some, is not relevant, for others if it is; for others indifferent. This way of thinking causes me brain stimulation, where my brain will focus on how? secreting multiple brain stimulations releasing substances called neurotransmitters something super impressive.
I give an example I have two televisions in a room, the person turns on both, and what happens.
TV. 1. News of a Bus, Plane, or Automobile Accident involving many people is being reported. Which is what strikes me. It is the noise the ambulances, the person who is reporting live, who is reporting with her voice a little agitated, with her voice even screaming, people screaming, ambulances, etc.
Tele 2. A class on how to avoid accidents, with a monotonous voice, has no people around, is reporting with a regular voice, not making any much noise
I turn them on and I immediately notice the two possibilities, options that my brain has, in whatever draws my attention.
Tele 1. And what strikes me is the noise, the ambulances, the person who is reporting, with her voice a little agitated, or even screaming, the images, etc.
Tele 2. A voice of someone who is reporting, with a regular voice, not making any noise, no ambulances, the person with her normal voice, a little bored there are no images, etc.
What my brain is doing, is going to focus on the report of, Tele.1 what is the accident.
Currently, that is what is happening to all of us the information that they are providing us daily makes my brain begin to drain substances activating my entire immune system releasing hormones and neurotransmitters and activating our sympathetic and parasympathetic system.
Our system to protect ourselves thus releasing all these substances like adrenaline norepinephrine cortisol dopamine etc. You are causing us a lot of tension, stress, depression, anxiety, fear, etc. Every time stress builds up we are closing certain areas of the brain so that we can understand, not accept more important things, and that what we think is boring is giving me the rules and keys to prevent an accident. But we are not going to pay much attention to it because of these two approaches.
In coronavirus 19 we have noticed what the attention has been since this pandemic began. Let us ask ourselves what has been my focus? My attention is focused on how much they are dying, how many have been infected because they call our attention etc. But it has been noticed that what I have not paid much attention to, is prevention, putting on a mask, keeping your distance, not going to crowded or closed places, this is what we have not paid much attention to. Because it is not interesting, it is not shocking, or important, we begin to think that nothing will happen to me, I can go anywhere.
But we see that the outbreaks have continued and with much greater force due to the lack of attention produced by the great noise of the pandemic, so there is a justification. And where we try to justify ourselves by saying. I am tired of being locked up, I have to work, I am an essential person. who is going to feed me, who is going to support me, etc., but many of those justifications have no basis to justify me. Why? And it is that if we want to end this pandemic, we must consider ourselves paying close attention to myself especially to my family and other people who are around you following the recommendations which we have not paid attention to
I decide to end the pandemic completely eradicate it. Loving your neighbor as yourself.
