Acknowledge the difficult situation, and think of times you overcame difficult situations in the past. This will help show you that the current scenario can be overcome as well.
Use credible news sources rather than social media when seeking facts about the situation. Having accurate information about what is happening can help reduce your fear of it and stop false information from spreading.
Limit your news consumption to 2-to-3 credible sources for 30 minutes or less per day. Too much news exposure can create a feeling of uncertainty toward the situation.
Use technology to regularly connect with people you trust, like your family, friends, and co-workers, through email, text messages, or video chats. This will help you keep a clear perspective of the situation and encourage you to continue having human interaction on some level.
To promote feelings of calmness and mental well-being, find ways to fit physical exercise into your daily schedule. This can be done by going for walks, bicycling, or doing yoga.
To help reduce your levels of stress or anxiety, regularly practice any activities that you find may help clear your mind. You could do this by practicing proven relaxation techniques like meditation.
Make sure you get enough sleep each night in order to feel rested and relaxed the next day. Proper sleep not only reduces stress, but also prepares you to better handle future stress.
Choose to eat healthy foods as much as you can. Eating healthy not only promotes good physical health, but also helps improve mental health.
