Vivo Team,
I’m naturally an introvert, but lack of social interaction is affecting my mental energy and I don’t know what to do about it.

Hi Rishad,
We’re finding that with a lot of people these days. We’ve been doing this for weeks now and even so called introverts can have a difficult time.
I recommend a couple things. At least once a day go out for a walk, even though you might still be doing that alone, getting out of your physical space can help.
Also, depending on where you are geographically, meet with someone once or twice a day within the allowed distance. You can have social closeness while physically distancing.
The other thing to try is connecting with a couple of friends, particularly in the evening, where you can have a chat and talk about whatever is going on, there is a lot going on in the world!
So, connect with others either in person, online or by phone, go for a walk, get out of you physical space, I think those are very useful things to do and can really bring your energy up.
Give it a shot, see how it works, and keep at it. This too shall pass, so get out there, keep breathing!
