Try any or all of these tips for the best possible coping during this unusual period.I wish you all the very best!
o
Exercise
– at home or virtual.
o
Get
organized – closets, rooms, garages – is one of the most effective ways to
increase a sense of control, distracting yourself from negative thoughts and
feelings.
o
Work
on professional or school work, which will catapult you closer toward reaching your professional or academic goals.
o
Cook
something special or indulgent for yourself or those you live with, which
nurtures you and also gives you something concrete to focus on.
o
Use
what mental health professionals call “positive self-talk.” When negative
thoughts or feelings get triggered, recite a simple mantra to yourself.
Examples: “This sucks now, but this isn’t permanent and things will get better
soon;” “All I can do is focus on what I can control.” “I know that making good
choices is what will help me achieve my goals later.”
