No one really could have imagined what we all have been experiencing with the COVID-19 virus over the last 8-weeks. During this time of being at home, many of us are working from home, and others are teaching their children from home. It’s been a stressful time for us all. Hopefully, you have found some positive ways to cope with the stress associated with everything that is happening.
- If you are not, the CDC has a few recommendations to help you.
- Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories, including social media. Hearing about the pandemic repeatedly can be upsetting.
- Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate.
- Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals.
- Exercise regularly.
- Get plenty of sleep.
- Avoid alcohol and drugs.
- Make time to unwind. Try to do some other activities you enjoy.
- Connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling. Virtually communicate with your loved ones and friends.
