With the coronavirus putting us into another month of quarantine It can be really hard on everyone mentally and physically. It’s really hard to be stuck inside all day, every day but the sooner everyone does their part and stays inside the faster life will be back to normal.
Here are some tips to help you focus on all the good there is to come. First It’s okay to feel sad or angry about being under quarantine. It’s a hard time. A lot of people lost loved ones. Birthdays, Weddings, etc. couldn’t be celebrated. Start writing a journal about what’s happening in the world. It’ll be crazy to find it ten years later and remember all that went on. It’ll also remind you to stay grateful for all the little things you were able to do before this happened. Create a routine for yourself,
this will help you after quarantine is over and help you get back to normal.
If you’re having a hard time with depression, anxiety, etc. Try to mind your thoughts, reach out to someone you trust, find something you love to do, start journaling your feelings, take notice of what or who hurts you, start meditating, find something you’re grateful for. Notice how you talk about yourself, start limiting your time on social media, check-in with yourself how do you feel about what’s going on?
Something that can also help is how much rest you get, go for a walk/run outside, create a new playlist, find a new hobby or activity, drink more water, admire yourself.
With all the negative that’s going on it’s so easy to get sucked in and dwell on that but hopefully it’s almost over. Use the rest of quarantine to discover who you are, find new talents, Heal.
Don’t let your mind and body take hits from a negative world, take a step back and try to remember all the fun and good that’s to come.
