Tips To Manage Anxiety & Excessive Worrying During Uncertain Times.
Reach out and stay connected
Focus on things that you can control
Social distancing comes with its own risks. Humans are social animals. We’re hardwired for connection. Isolation and loneliness can exacerbate anxiety and depression, and even impact our physical health. That’s why it’s important to stay connected as best we can and reach out for support when we need it, even as we cut back on in-person socializing.
We’re in a time of massive upheaval. There are so many things outside of our control, including how long the pandemic lasts, how other people behave, and what’s going to happen in our communities. Challenge your anxiety by identifying these worrisome thoughts and accept life's uncertainties.
Practice relaxation techniques
Learn to calm down quickly
Your body experiences physical, fight or flight responses when anxious such as tingling, shortness of breath or dizziness. Practice deep breathing, muscle relaxation or meditation to alleviate physical symptoms of anxiety.
If you feel overwhelming anxiety when alone, use your senses to relax you. Listen to soothing music, look at photos of loved ones, sip on hot tea, or go for a walk and breathe in fresh air.
Help others
it’s important to take a breath and remember that we’re all in this together. It’s no coincidence that those who focus on others in need and support their communities, especially during times of crises, tend to be happier and healthier than those who act selfishly. Helping others not only makes a difference to your community—and even to the wider world at this time—it can also support your own mental health and well-being.
Adopt anxiety-busting habits
Get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, limit excessive caffeine and avoid alcohol and nicotine. A healthy, balanced lifestyle plays a big role in keeping the symptoms of anxiety at bay.
