Social Distancing: What it means and how we can manage it in our day-to-day life - Part 2

Managing feeling of anxiety

Collectively, our level of anxiety has risen, and it’s something to pay attention to. Do a self-scan and recognize what it feels like for you right now. If your anxiety is feeling uncomfortable, that is a moment to intervene. Do something each day to help let out some of the stress, and identify what triggers them and how we can help ourselves to regain control of our life.

There are a lot of great tips circulating right now for ideas for when you are in a self-isolation or quarantine situation. I would recommend that each day, try doing something that you know has worked in the past for you, maybe meditate, exercise, or try something new like: explore cooking, baking, painting, knitting. Many of us do have more time now. Take hold of the moment, and that can be a great way to channel some of the anxiety.
