The real road of compassion, that is, giving, helping, assistance and community service, is a road that can be set and declared as your life's purpose
During this highly stressful, unusual and unprecedented time of the Covid 19 Pandemic a lot of people are suffering from Stress, Anxiety and Depression, the question is what can you do to help yourself? The reality is that there are a few basic things you can do to ensure that you are looking after your mental health during the Covid 19 Pandemic. Step 1 – Stay Active One of the worse things you can do for your Mental Health is to give in to the stress and anxiety and just get stuck at home. Instead you need to stay active. Whether that means taking the dog for a short walk, going for a run, going for a walk or just doing something to ensure that you are not stuck inside the same four walls all day. I know that during our Stage 4 lockdown here I had a 170m route that I was allowed to run on and each day I would go out and run 4 or 5kms on this route. Now this wasn’t exactly what I wanted to do, but it was better than being stuck inside all day. Shaun Stenning said Step 2 – Keep A Routine Just because you don’t have to go to work, or you cant go out doesn’t mean that you should let your personal hygiene fall. Make sure you are still getting up at an appropriate time, showering, dressing and sticking to a routine. Stay strong. I know during our Stage 4 Lockdowns I set my alarm each day for 7am and get up, showered, changed and went to my computer as this was my pre-lockdown routine, so I kept it going during lockdown to just make sure I kept my sanity. Step 3 – Limit Screen Time Don’t fall into the trap of watching TV, Netflix, Amazon or HBO endlessly. You need to limit your screen time. Read a book, write a journal, practice a new skill or just spend time with your family. Whatever it is you do make sure that you don’t fall into the trip of too much screen time. These are just 3 easy steps you can follow to ensure you keep your mental health strong during the covid 19 pandemic.
