Stress – Going..Going….Gone

For the last few months, the Covid-19 pandemic has brought with it a second pandemic. It is not of disease but stress. As you watch the events taking place around the outbreak, it is not unnatural to feel fear. To deal with this increasing pressure, the body releases stress hormones. 

 Every day, the news keeps pouring in, and the information becomes overwhelming and scary. You are dealing with a lot of issues such as caring for your family members, keeping kids occupied, managing to get work done, or adjusting to the new normal. As the days go by, the added stress can affect you both physically and mentally. Under these circumstances, how to keep a positive frame of mind? This article will provide you with ways to cope with COVID-19 stress.

Tips for stress management

Accept the new normal.

During this pandemic, some people experience increased worry from this feeling of not being in control or having feelings of helplessness. However, it is essential to reframe this belief. While it is true that there are certain things out of your control. This does not mean that there is nothing you can do to reduce risk and ease the burden. Try to boost your immunity to lessen your risk of catching coronavirus. This will give you the feeling of being in control.

Exercise

Regular exercises can help reduce stress hormones. Aerobic exercises like walking, running, or climbing stairs can still be done within your home's walls. Stretching exercises, yoga, and meditation play a vital role in elevating your mood and keeping a positive attitude.  

Limit your exposure to negative news

The constant negative news can be a lot to handle. So, decide the amount of exposure that makes you comfortable. Also, make sure you expose the children only to age-appropriate material.

Keep the social connection.

During these times of uncertainty, it is essential to connect with others. Being in isolation can lead to depression. Reach out to your friends and families regularly.

Take good rest

A lack of sleep can aggravate stress. So, getting the right amount of sleep in managing stress and staying focused during the day is recommended. It's better to avoid stimulants like coffee, alcohol, or nicotine before bedtime. Having a bedtime routine and planning for the next day also helps treat stress due to uncertainty.

Practice healthy diet and maintain proper hygiene

Stress can cause you to eat unhealthy food. It adversely affects your metabolism. In these circumstances, avoid emotional eating by identifying trigger factors and keeping away from the urge. Keeping healthy snacks around and maintaining your blood sugar levels is essential throughout the day. This will help regulate your mood and emotions. Make sure you take a bath every day and maintain a personal hygiene routine.

Offer help

If you want a sense of fulfillment and calm the restless mind, you need to help others as much as you can. You can offer to take a list of errands from elderly or sick people who cannot get out.

Take up small tasks.

Being at home may inspire you to re-organize your furniture or rearrange your wardrobe. Take up a small project and complete it. 

Express yourself and Be positive

You can cope with feelings if you express yourself. It is either by putting pen to paper, capturing videos, scrapbooking, keeping a journal, or blogging which will give you something to look forward to every day.

Entertainment is crucial

Get comfortable and enjoy the shows with online streaming. If you have kids at home, play different types of games. Pick up a hobby or try out new recipes and curate something. 

 During this uncertainty, bring a sense of normalcy to help you cope with the changing environment. Try to keep those around you, calm and focused. So, how to get rid of stress? You can opt for Maharishi Ayurveda products that can help you deal with stress symptoms and calm your mind.
