Everyone is has been heading to the store to get toilet paper…………..
And they are also:
Am I right?
Last night my husband and I went to 4 different Walmarts to try and find some and they were completely SOLD OUT
A lot of people are being cautious and being careful and I have a few tips for you to stay healthy and how to stress less over this virus that has become a pandemic.
1} Do not panic. Be wise
Panic really does not help you. If you are feeling that anxiety rising, take a few minutes of deep breathing to change the oxygen in your body. This is actually where decision making comes in. Will 5 rolls of toilet paper help you? No. Even if you have to self-isolate for 14 days, that is 15 MAX rolls of toilet paper that you need. Buy what you actually need and leave the rest for others.
2} Boost your Heart Rate
When you feel that anxiety coming and the heart rate is pumping faster than usual, your stress response is keeping you on high alert. By moving your body actively {Walking, Working out etc.} you are sending the signal to your body that you ran away from a lion and your body then triggers the calming responses. So, if you want to calm your nerves, raise your heart rate through activity you love.
3} Focus on what you can control
You can’t control what is going on in the world or the spread of the virus. You can focus on your actions. Wash your hands. limit exposure by working from home {Which my current full-time job is doing and we will be working from home for a few months}. Fuel your body with foods that boost your immune system. Order groceries from online from pickup. Get Fresh Air {It is getting warmer outside and almost Spring time!}. Connect with friends by phone or FaceTime to keep that social connection strong.
You have so much more that you are in control of then you realize.
so,
or in my case, washing my elbow!
Here is to your Health and a Prosperous life,
