Sometimes all it takes to come out of a complex period is to decide to devote yourself entirely to yourself, even for entire months, focusing all your efforts on self-improvement. We have just come out of a terrible two-year period in which people, perhaps for the first time in their lives, were faced with an extremely shocking, upsetting situation, the likes of which have not happened since the world wars. 

The suddenness of certain changes, coupled with social constraints and virus containment measures, contributed greatly to a collective crisis that overwhelmed millions of consciences, leaving them totally helpless and powerless. It is no coincidence that psychologists and psychiatrists all over the world have been overburdened during this terrible two-year period: to them have turned not only young people or students, stunned and shocked by all the changes that have affected schools and the world of learning, but also young adults and all those who have perhaps lost a loved one, the main affection of their lives, or who have otherwise had a taste of the true flavor of suffering. 

Covid-19, in a sense, acted like a real storm, sweeping over an incredible number of people and turning them into miserable castaways with no more orientation, completely lost and emptied. 

A global crisis 

The feeling of bewilderment has continued to claim victims even over the past few months, when most of the restrictions related to pandemic containment had already been loosened or greatly reduced. People, almost without realizing it, found themselves having to come to terms with a normalcy they no longer knew, and one that still seems quite difficult to get used to. 

The possibility of being able to leave the house, go to clubs and hang out with friends, alone, was not enough to bring people’s spirits back up, but on the contrary contributed to highlighting even more that oppressive feeling of unease that does not want to go away for any reason. Some, at these junctures, try to find solace in the company of others, in work, in social media like Instagram, in evenings spent with friends, hoping that these pastimes will finally drive away all remaining shadows from their oppressed souls. These attempts may only work for a few hours, for a few fleeting moments of illusion, but their effect invariably ends very soon, without producing any kind of improvement in people’s lives. 

To permanently defeat these unpleasant feelings, drastic initiatives are needed, so as to fight the evil at its root and eradicate it as soon as possible. Those who want to achieve the best results will have to prepare to give up a good part of their social and relational habits, if not all of them, with the goal of retreating into solitude and proceeding to the identification (and subsequent neutralization) of what oppresses us. 

Lock yourself in your home, isolate yourself from the world and begin a silent (but no-holds-barred) struggle with your evil, harnessing the power of self-analysis and solitude to devote yourself entirely to your own well-being and personal empowerment. Work, study, devote yourself to whatever you enjoy, but always keeping in mind the goal of your voluntary isolation: to defeat that painful feeling that oppresses you and prevents you from living life in a serene, peaceful, happy way. 

A difficult path

It is not easy to start on such a path, remaining alone and away from the world, but with some helpful allies it will be easier. While you work on yourself, you can indulge in relaxing pleasure breaks with the most appropriate content or with Netflix, depending on your personal needs. If you love movies or reading, you can take advantage of every break to enjoy the books and movies you promised yourself you would enjoy, while if you love more addictive pleasures you could always try exploring the world of online video games, which are always a useful ally for overcoming boredom or filling in the gaps in time that remain empty. 

Online you can also find entirely new genres of entertainment, such as those related to gambling and all the endless possibilities associated with it. CasinoReviews, for example, is an extremely popular portal that offers honest and serious reviews regarding a wide variety of online casino games, giving precise information about their reliability, security and punctuality of payments. The very useful guides on the site will also help each player to identify the most suitable game for his taste, and to prepare himself in the best way for real money play. 

In the company of all your allies for physical and mental well-being, even periods of solitude to devote to yourself will turn into moments of rare beauty and intensity.
