Coping Mechanisms During Covid-19

Many have felt cooped up, uncertain of the future, and restricted from our normal lives during the pandemic.  The feelings of frustration, anger, and sadness are to be expected. Some tips for coping with these natural feelings are to start journaling. Use the journal as a vehicle to let all your emotions out. It is ok to write anything you want to express in your journal – because it is just that – your journal. Another tip is to do daily exercise. Take a walk, jog, or run. Move your body. There are many online exercise routines that do not require anything but you. Try to meditate each morning before starting the day. Focus on the good in your life. Practice deep breathing. Also there can be toxic people in our lives. Avoid them as much as possible. If these tips are not strong enough to help you feel better then seek help. Real strength in life is being able to ask for help when you need it.
