Don’t underestimate what you are able to do when faced with challenges.Physical activity is a great way to reduce stress and anxiety, and improve our mood and overall health. Try to replace catastrophic thoughts with something like, "This is definitely a difficult time, but we will get through it together." Remember our collective resources – from excellent health care and public health response systems to strong and resilient communities. Remind yourself that you can handle stress and that if you feel you need support, you can reach out to family, friends, colleagues or professionals. Even if things weren’t perfect, what did you do to cope with the situation?
If you still feel significant distress around COVID-19 and feel you are not coping well, you may need extra support from someone like your family doctor or a psychologist, psychotherapist, social worker or other health professional. Now what?Sometimes, even after trying to reduce our stress and anxiety, we may continue to struggle. For example, use your stairs or follow an exercise video on YouTube.
