In Covid-19 I have mentally struggled, but through writing, I am able to turn negative thoughts into positive ones.
There is no doubt in the pandemic, I have been taken out of my comfort zone, more than I have in the 46 years I didn't know about my disability. My mental and emotional health has taken a knock and if we were all to be honest with ourselves, I am sure we would agree, we feel the same way.
Our inborn abilities
Where I have felt powerless, that has continued to heighten my anxiety. By reaching within myself I have taken back control. We can all use our inborn abilities. It’s something everyone has and through those inborn abilities, you can also thrive.
So, how do I manage to change my own mental state? I try to continue to look at the bigger picture of my situation. The problem is where you are in your head space and your perspective. The more uncomfortable in your head space, the more victimised you may feel and I was determined not to be a victim.
Covid has been a heavy emotional price
Through Covid, we have all carried a heavy burden, a heavy weight, and a heavy emotional price. That’s a lot of burden to carry. All situations need clarification, or solution and although there is clarification now, there is no solution that works, therefore we all should continue to hope, the right solution can be found.
My book brings clarifications and solutions
If you’re interested in reading how you can find personal clarifications and solutions, how you can draw on your emotional and mental health, and how tuning into your intuition can improve your wellbeing, heal your mind, and set you firmly back on track, please check out my book, ‘Spirituality, Healing and Me.’

It would be nice if Covid was something we could chase away forever with antibiotics or a single pill, but we're not quite there.
Where we are today is conspiracy theories, nasty politics and the pursuit of normalcy prematurely. We must agree to reach maturity as a people and revolve around common sense and facts.
I encourage all your readers to read your blogs and the printed words in your books, and never assume anything until they've done so.
With absolute certainty, they will gain knowledge and improve their mental health as well. Ilana's objective is to keep the narrative sober, factual and under control.
Thanks Tim. Yes, we're in a pandemic and the mental health narrative is struggling. There is no doubt for me this is happening.
That said, I know from my own experiences, anyone can change their narrative, but only if they want to change the narrative.
In 12 years of writing, my narrative has never changed, the circumstances have, but I still believe each and everyone of us can pull back on mental health and change our narrative - I would implore everyone to buy the book.
Where you say: "I encourage all your readers to read your blogs and the printed words in your books, and never assume anything until they’ve done so - yes, I would also encourage my readers to read my blog and the printed words in my books.
And where you say: "With absolute certainty, they will gain knowledge and improve their mental health as well. Ilana’s objective is to keep the narrative sober, factual and under control" - I know what my book can do.
In these difficult times, it has become even more important. Without addressing mental health there is ill-health.
