Here's how Kara David keeps positive, amid the doom and gloom of the pandemic

In a #RealTalk interview with GMA Public Affairs, Kara David shared how she always tries to see the bright side of things amid the pandemic.

"Ako humuhugot ako sa mga sinabi ng Panginoon na may dahilan ang lahat," Kara began. "Kailangang tingnan mo kung ano 'yung bright side in everything kasi lagi namang may silver lining and bright side ang lahat ng bagay." 

According to the GMA journalist, the pandemic has forced her to look at the most important thing in life.

"'Yung mga bagay that matters most, family, your close friends, 'yung pagbabayanihan natin, pagtutulungan natin at tsaka resilience," she said.

"At mas nakita natin na lahat tayo konektado sa isa't isa so hindi ka puwede mag-damot ng iyong blessings. Kailangan mag-share ka rin at tumulong ka din kasi you're just part of a bigger community," she added.

Kara said she shuts off negativity by using her "deadmatology" mantra.

"Sinabi sa akin ng mother ko na kung gusto mo maging maligaya sa mundo, pakinggan mo lang yung boses at opinion ng mga taong talagang nag-ma-matter," she said.

She reminded the younger generation that social media is technology and that it "shouldn't define your life."

"Maraming ibang bagay na nagde-define sa ating buhay at hindi yun yung timeline mo o yung social media feed mo," she said.

To lessen your stress, Kara recommends identifying how you get triggered.

"Try to give yourself a break. 'Wag munang mag-social media ng isang araw or 'wag ka muna magbasa ng comments kung 'yun ang nakaka-trigger ng iyong stress. Tapos mag-focus ka lang dun sa mga bagay na importante."

Kara said amid the pandemic she goes by the mantra, "In everything in life, ang lagi ko lang sinasabi: Sa kabila ng lahat, marami pa ring bagay na dapat ipagpasalmat."

She said belief in one's strength will also get them through these unprecedented times.

"Kailangan nating paniwalaan yung katatagan natin. Yung sarili nating tatag sa panahon ngayon wala kang ibang aasahan kundi sarili mo, pamilya mo, so pakatatag lang." — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
