Top 7 COVID-19 Anxiety Reduction Strategies

Media Distancing

We needed to exercise mutual distancing in order to avoid the spread of COVID-19. Yet we have to distance ourselves from the media to avoid the spread of anxiety. All fear derives from uncertainty and an active imagination that produces terrible thoughts. Media are the driver of these ideas and are 24/7 Coronavirus and almost all negative ones. My most worried patients with Coronavirus are those who consume the most social, online and traditional media news. The more disturbing you are, the more distant you are from the media. And if you are extremely frightened, stop reading and watching. Don't research or Google. Stop checking the latest news (and your investments) about the virus. You will find out what important information you need to know.

Concentrate on Present Odds

Both losses are tragic, but the correct balance must be maintained. Most people with COVID-19 infection have mild to moderate signs or none. And if you contract the virus, the mortality rate ranges from 1.4 to 3% (the exact mortality rate is not known at the moment). The number of deaths will continue to rise (and the press shows everyone) however, still, the risk of death or the loss of a loved one is still low , despite the determination of everyone to maintain isolation and separated. Yet death is possible, and it is because of it that frightened men take their bait and survive. Opportunity is likelihood. Mind the chances that are really good at present. After all, you would be excited to take these risks if you were to go to new place and had a 97% chance of winning. Even if you're in a higher risk category, your risk of death remains low if you take proper care of yourself.

Complete stress reduction activities

 focus on what you're grateful for, exercise your body and relax your mind will help to provide you with the peace you want. Guided meditation, yoga, exercise and a journal of gratitude are all less stressful practices. Select one or two, learn about them and practice them every day. If you and your loved ones are not severely sick or have serious financial problems, please be blessed. Maybe we'll all appreciate what we take for granted once the crisis is over: a healthy society, freedom to meet, a dinner with friends, a night in films and a simple haircut.

Do Not Engage with Worry

Take Action: The more anxious you are, the more you are to focus on worst-case scenarios, whether you are concerned about contracting the virus, your struggling business or being unemployed. You can not stop thinking, but you can choose to stop living and take action to solve problems. You can't stop thinking. Among problem solving and stressing there is an immense difference. Don't take the bait as your ego wants to trap you. You 're going to be caught if you do, like a fish in a lake. Anxiety tries to bait you with numerous questions about "what if." Don't reply. Answer: "Don't get your bait," turn away and concentrate elsewhere. Spinning around your wheels will take you through the rabbit holes of fear with questions that do not have answers. Find creative measures to get you back to your feet through this storm instead. None shall be satisfied with these interventions. We are using them to get around the storm like an umbrella and a raincoat, not to hinder it. Much anxiety is attributed to lack of confidence in our abilities to cope with challenges. Take one move at a time to feel awkward. These actions may include obtaining grants, receiving aid, paying portions of bills, minimizing expenses, and exploring innovative forms of earning money, including the sale of merchandise on Ebay. The objective is to remain on the ground until the storm is gone.

Do not react to physical symptoms

it does not mean you have COVID-19 if you cough. The same applies to other coughers. Allergies, bronchitis, post-nasal dryness and cold have become more common and likely. Ignore confusion in other life fields and ignore that which is most probable. Don't look for symptoms in your body. This comportment strengthens your fears and increases your fear. And stop testing your savings if you are concerned.

Be kind and have faith with yourself and others

 during a national crisis you usually feel anxious and depressed. Getting families and friends who are isolated or in need will boost your mind and spirit. Be thankful and pay others for services which they do not provide if you are in good financial condition. Checks your housewife, hairdresser or others unable to work. Venmo or mail. If you are unemployed or you're in a business, your new job is to cope as well as you can in this storm until it happens. It's always going by. Trust it will, even though it doesn't have the answers. It is a choice to trust or imagine the worst. Which one you will select?

Seek For Medical Help

 You don't have to do this on your own. Talk to a professional who can help you during this difficult time if you experience an escalation of anxiety. Nearly all therapists use telehealth so that you are not restricted to professionals in your area. Medications may also be required and should be recommended by the doctor or treatment provider for anxiety, exhaustion, and insomnia. you can find the Anxiety and Depression Association and other  includes a doctor and psychiatrist.
