KEEPING YOUR MENTAL HEALTH IN MIND (CONT.)
We are living in uncertain times, and it is easy to feel worried, overwhelmed, or helpless. As mentioned before, while we all know the importance of taking care of our physical health, it is also extremely important to pay attention to our mental health. While feeling worried is normal and expected, there are many ways we can increase our resilience during this time: 1. TAKE BREAKS FROM THE NEWS. It is important to stay informed with what is going on, but at a certain point, it can be more upsetting than informational. It can be upsetting to hear about the crisis and see images repeatedly, leading to feelings of depression or anxiety. Evaluate how much is helpful for you to read or watch in a day and aim to stick to that limit. 2. TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY. Its no secret that what we put into our body can drastically change how we feel physically... but it can also effect how
we feel mentally. Ensuring we eat a well-balanced diet and maintaining an exercise routine is a great way to know you are giving your mental health the absolute best foundation. 3. PLAN FOR A LACK OF SOCIAL CONTACT. By now, everyone has heard the term “social distancing” as being one of the best ways to help mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic. That means most group activities, even gathering at a restaurant, have been put on hold. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t seek comfort from others! Plan to contact friends and family via video programs like FaceTime or Skype. Text messages are great for quick check- ins, but consider sending an old-fashioned hand- written letter to a loved one to brighten their day!
