The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on people’s mental health, especially frontline and health care workers, people living alone, and people with pre-existing mental health conditions. In the midst of the pandemic, it is vital to manage mental health by protecting psychological and emotional well-being. There are a number of reasons like social isolation, uncertainty, disrupted daily routines, financial pressure, so a combination of emotions such as stress, anxiety, sadness, fear and loneliness can arise. Therefore, it is advisable to adopt healthy ways to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, and engaging in self-care activities is the most important thing first.
Making movement will only improve your physical and mental health. You don’t have to spend an hour in the gym for this to happen. Just stay active throughout the day, don’t sit for more than 30 minutes at a time, and if possible, stretch or walk for 2 minutes.
- Eat fresh and balanced foods.
Going on a “diet” can seem like a daunting task, but making small changes and ensuring food quality can affect your well-being. Replace processed or packaged foods with freshly prepared home-cooked meals, fresh fruits, vegetables. Choose nuts and seeds for snacks instead of fried or junk food. A balanced diet has a number of health benefits, and in this case, it will also help you keep your physical and mental health intact.
Sleep is very important to good health and you simply cannot ignore the impact of restful sleep. Maintaining sleep hygiene and avoiding screens, caffeinated beverages, one hour before bedtime is essential.
Spend at least 15 minutes in the morning sunlight. You can go for a walk or enjoy a cup of tea sitting on the balcony, which receives direct sunlight.
Yoga will not only make you fit, but it will also calm your mind. Try 10 minutes of meditation or controlled breathing exercises.
