Our mental and physical health are very important during these challenging times. We don't know how long we will be asked to isolate, so this is the time to start to protect our mental state. Most of us are social beings, so lets schedule at home activities we can do to get ahead of our stress and anxiety. There are some great meditation apps (10%Happier, Insight Timer, Unwinding Anxiety, The Tapping Solution, and more). Reach out to people via video like Facetime, and Zoom. You can still go outdoors for walks. Many of us Mental Health Professional are working remotely via Video sessions. Feedback from clients is they like it and grateful to be safe at home. I have expanded my hours since I am staying home. I will be announcing soon a Coronavirus Isolation Support Group via Zoom. We need to talk, share with each other and lift each other. Sending you love and we are in it together.
