Tips for Managing Mental Wellness during the COVID-19 Pandemic:
* Maintain your physical health– make sure to eat nutritious food, regularly exercise and get a sufficient amount of sleep each day. Even going outside for a walk has proven to have positive effects on mental and physical health!
* Keep in touch with friends and family virtually– talk to someone you trust about how you are feeling and maintain social connections.
* Plan small things to look forward to each day– this can be something as simple as ordering your favorite food, going on a walk with your dog or exploring someplace new!
* Create a schedule– this helps you maintain structure and differentiate between work and down-time.
* Be kind to yourself. Don’t be hard on yourself for not being as productive or motivated. It is normal to feel stressed or worried during a time of crises. Tell yourself positive affirmations such as reminding yourself how proud you are for getting through each day.
* Monitor your news and social media consumption– make sure to take breaks from the news and social media to avoid unnecessary worrying.
* Reach out for help; this can be professionally or with a loved one. Taking care of your mental health is extremely important; sometimes we need some extra help and that is completely normal and okay!
