In the wake of the growing concern coming from the spread of CoVid-19 (Corona Virus), we felt that it was necessary to provide you with something that might help you remain calm during these trying times. While everyone is being affected differently by this outbreak, it is important to remember that our response to these situations can make a difference in their outcomes.
Here are 7 ways to help you remain calm during a moment of crisis.
- Slow Down and Stay Positive - Resist the urge to react before getting all of the facts. Also, many times we let our mind set get the best of us, try meditating and don’t let your imagination get out of control.
- Don’t Focus on “What-Ifs” - Everything from aliens to the zombie apocalypse will run through your mind. Don’t worry until there is something to worry about.
- Care For Yourself - Keeping a balanced diet and exercising regularly will keep your stress levels down and will boost your immune system.
- Limit Caffeine - I’m guilty of this one. Caffeine can actually increase your stress levels as it will give you a sudden rush of adrenaline making your hyper-sensitive.
- Disconnect - While we want to make sure we get the facts, sometimes it’s best to disconnect from the Media Networks and just do your own research through trusted sites.
- Develop Your Exit Strategy - We all dislike the feeling of uncertainty. Talk to your neighbors and family and come up with an exit strategy that is doable and can be executed with a calm mind.
- Call a Trusted Friend or Mentor - When I find my mind wandering into the beyond, I remind myself to call my best friend because he has always helped me see things from a different perspective (and he’s not afraid to tell me about it).
At the end of the day we have to remember that kindness if FREE! We can all help each other out simply by remembering that during a moment of crisis (especially if it’s a global crisis), we aren’t alone. Everyone around us is also going through the same thing and everyone is dealing with other factors that we are not aware of.
Be safe, be calm, be smart. If you think your need emergency help, reach out to the local crisis centers and they will be able to give you options to deal with your specific situation. We want to see everyone being safe, we value you as our neighbors and are here to help. If you have questions or need numbers to resources that might benefit you please feel free to reach out to us.
