Hi all! I hope you are well.
I started out really nervous, frozen with fear over the coronavirus, then cleaning all the time and watching the news all the time. That wasn't healthy. I said, "Enough."
The game changer for me was a course I found on Udemy by Joeel and Natalie Rivera on dealing with stress and being more productive during this pandemic. Perfect! I have taken several of their other courses and loved them. This one was no different. My mindset did a 180 degree turn.
I am still cautious. I still watch local and national news for an hour a day, which is all I can handle. And special bulletins whenever they come up. But, I am not glued to the coverage. That was driving me crazy.
I made a schedule, a routine that includes fun, work, and keeping informed about the latest on the virus. It has made a big difference in my ability to cope with the uncertainty.
Some things I am doing:
- Coloring
- Reading
- Working on a new project regarding coaching
- Exercising
- Getting fresh air--gardening
- Watching Christmas movies
- Watching favorite funny shows
- Good news videos online
- Doing breath work
- Taking courses on how to relieve stress
- Playing and cudfling with our cats
- Talking with friends
- Talking with my coaches
- Cleaning--reasonably
- Washing my hands often
- Getting good sleep
- Communicating with my husband--fears, concerns, other feelings and thoughts.
- Journaling
What are you doing to reduce stress in this uncertain time?
