The Challenge
Due to the unforeseen circumstances of COVID-19, my patient began working from home and often found it difficult to adapt to a routine. The patient expressed he had a lack of motivation and was in a low mood in the mornings before starting work.
The Change
Having completed research on the #EndPJParalysis campaign, I advised the patient to wake up earlier, have a shower and change from his pyjamas into his work clothes. This was advised to allow him to feel more productive and motivated during the day.
The Impact
After the duration of 2 weeks, the patient expressed that he followed my recommendation. He explained that he felt more motivated, fresh and determined to start work and he found it easier to connect with others virtually because he felt presentable.
