Develop a Plan
Take steps to decrease risk with things as simple as washing your hands well, limiting travel, social distancing (different from social isolation) to putting together a list you can rely on. The list can include needed medications, food supplies, important contacts and healthcare professionals. Keep the items on your list up to date and stocked.
Be Mindful of Media Consumption
There is so much information being passed around through stories in the media about the speed of the spread of COVID-19 or the number of people testing positive which can be anxiety producing. Set limits for your media consumption, both through news and social media outlets to avoid being subjected to anxiety-provoking information all day.
Recognize and Validate Your Emotions
There is no “right way” to respond to everything going on around you and everyone reacts differently to what is happening based upon how you were raised, where you live, and previous experiences you have had. Recognizing your emotions in uncertain times is helpful for everyone and allows you to take steps to manage them. Take time to experience and process what is happening.
It’s normal to feel some degree of anxiety due to feelings of uncertainty. However if your worry turns fall into the category of not sleeping, eating or excessive stress, please reach out to a professional.
