As the world continues to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, health officials are recommending social-distancing and self-quarantine practices to <\/span>slow the spread of the disease. <\/span>This means, for the foreseeable future, we\u2019ll be spending a lot more time at home. Our daily routines will shift, we\u2019ll be without the face-to-face social contact that helps keep us feeling connected and positive, and we\u2019ll need to adjust to this new normal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why now, more than ever before, prioritizing emotional and mental health is so important. Luckily, there are so many things you can do at home to show yourself some love and boost positivity. Not only are these practices a great way to manage anxiety, but they can also help you stay healthy and give your days more structure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To help you get started, we’ve rounded up some of the best self-care tips from professionals in the self-care and wellness field that you can start practicing today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"how<\/h2>\n

Be kind to yourself\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the best self-care tips you can follow right now is to be kind to yourself. While there is a lot you can\u2019t control, you can, at the very least, pay attention to your feelings and practice self-compassion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Try this:\u00a0<\/b>
\nNo one can figure all this out in one week. Give yourself a little grace and remember you are resilient! – Martha Rosado, Owner,\u00a0 <\/span>Anxiety Specialist Counseling Center<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Even people who don\u2019t usually struggle with anxiety are experiencing more worry and anxiety now. So, practice self-compassion and don\u2019t be too hard on yourself if you\u2019re experiencing more anxiety than usual. – <\/span>Anxiety Canada<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Limit information intake and screen time<\/span><\/h2>\n

While it\u2019s important to remain informed, if you spend your entire day watching and thinking about the news, it creates a mindset of powerlessness and panic. Taking a break from it all can help reduce stress and give your mind room for positive thinking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Try this:\u00a0<\/b>
\nIt\u2019s important to put time limits on media exposure to avoid feeling overwhelmed. –\u00a0 Kevin L. Gyoerkoe, Psy.D, <\/span>The Anxiety and OCD Treatment Center<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Set a timer on your phone and when it goes off walk away, play with your kids, take a walk outside, play a game, or do a guided meditation. The amount of information we are taking in right now can be overwhelming and counterproductive to making the best choices for ourselves. – Angela Saeger, <\/span>Cedar Point Therapy<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Create and stick to a daily routine\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

With so much change, it\u2019s crucial that you try to maintain your routine as best you can. Doing so can give your days more structure, purpose, and hopefully a bit of normalcy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Try this:\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>
\nSchedule your exercise, work, and food at a specific time and it will give you a balanced day. – Yvonne Phillips, <\/span>Feng Shui World<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Your morning and bedtime routines are particularly important. Get your kids dressed, spend time on schoolwork, play, and connect with loved ones via technology (virtual dinner parties!). – <\/span>NW Anxiety Institute<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"self-care<\/h2>\n

Reduce stress and anxiety with meditation and deep breathing\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

For most people, anxiety levels are rising as the days go by. However, panicking and stressing provide no protection against this crisis. If anything, doing so makes you more vulnerable. The immune system can\u2019t function at its highest potential when the mind is worrying.<\/span><\/p>\n

Try this:\u00a0<\/b>
\nTake care of your nervous system and reduce your anxiety with a practice such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping. EFT Tapping can support you so that your body is able to handle the electrical load of the huge amounts of stress we find ourselves in. I am also sharing a <\/span>free EFT meditation<\/span><\/a> that anyone can download and practice by themselves. – Damla Aktekin, Vibrational Healer, <\/span>A Drop Of Om<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other than chocolate and wine, our self-care tip is to go to our website and press our “panic button.” Don’t worry–no one will show up at your door–it’s just a recording of us talking you through your anxiety. It’s anonymous and free so press away! – Abs & Mags, <\/span>The Anxiety Sisters<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Find a quiet place for a few minutes to focus on your breath to ground yourself and increase feelings of calm and relaxation. – <\/span>Mindful Soul Center for Wellbeing<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Several times a day, pause to do some conscious breathing. Relax, be very still, and then silently count out ten slow deep breaths. For that short period, focus your undivided attention on the passage and feel of your in-breath and your out-breath. – Morgan Dix, Cofounder, <\/span>About Meditation & the One Mind Podcast<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Deep breaths connect us to our whole selves, deliver much-needed oxygen to our cells, and keep us present. Aromatherapy with pure essential oils in addition to mindful breathing is a treat for our respiratory system and can lift the mood. – Amanda May-Fitzgerald, Owner, <\/span>Wild at Heart<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"self-care<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t forget to stay active<\/span><\/h2>\n

Social distancing doesn’t mean you have to lounge around on the couch all day. Moving your body for 30 minutes a day is a great self-care practice to get endorphins flowing and boost energy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Try this:\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>
\nAerobic exercise and resistance training are my go-to activities to reduce anxiety levels. There are a ton of free high-quality <\/span>home workouts<\/span><\/a> on YouTube. One work out will improve your day greatly. – Salomon Ptasevich, <\/span>Anxiety Social Net<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

You can practice self-care and boost alertness by waking up with a meditation or morning stretch. I’ve made it more enjoyable by misting our <\/span>Wanderlust Room & Linen spray<\/span><\/a> on the yoga mat before practice or around me before I begin a meditation. It’s calming essential oils of organic Lavender and Ylang Ylang. – Aba T. Gyepi-Garbrah, <\/span>Aba Love Apothecary\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Tap into your heritage of resilience<\/h2>\n

Remember that you\u2019re living during significant times in human history, and your story is on the continuum of the bigger story we all share. You are here because your ancestors prevailed, and there is hope and encouragement in those stories.<\/p>\n

Try this:<\/strong>
\nMaybe you\u2019ve been fortunate to keep track of family stories. Now is a great time to pull out those materials and review your family\u2019s past. You don\u2019t need to travel too far back, either, to realize the rich backbone of your legacy\u2014just reach out now and ask your parents, grandparents, or other relatives about times they persevered. Ask what helped them pull through. Sherry Borzo, Legacy Publisher<\/a><\/p>\n

Try this:<\/strong>
\nOnce you start gathering stories, you may find you\u2019ve uncovered treasures you and your family didn\u2019t all know. Consider turning those stories into journal entries or creating a book using self-publishing tools. Or you can create an audio version of the story in an interview format.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you have a rich conversation with a relative you think can inspire others. When that happens, check out StoryCorps Connect Program.<\/a> Through the app you can record interviews remotely and submit them. Your interview then becomes shareable through the StoryCorps Archive and preserved for future generations at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.<\/p>\n

Use this time to make note of the positives in your life<\/span><\/h2>\n

As the world deals with uncertain times, it can be easy to look at this entire experience negatively. But what if you paused and decided to focus on the positives instead? What if you used this time to be grateful for all the good in your life?<\/span><\/p>\n

Try this:<\/b>
\nThis is a great opportunity to slow down, be present and have gratitude for moments that we oftentimes take for granted, like taking a leisurely walk or having more time with kids, partners or pets. – <\/span>Lori O’Mara, LCSW, CST, <\/span>Cope Better Therapy<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Set a few goals every day<\/h2>\n

Try this:<\/strong>
\nSet a few goals each day even if they are small. Cooking dinner, folding laundry, reading a book can all be considered goals. Give yourself something to reach for each day. If you are ready to move on to bigger goals try cleaning out your master closet, decluttering the garage, or organizing your pantry. *PRO TIP* Bigger goals can be broken down into smaller tasks to complete each day so you don’t feel overwhelmed. – A Meaningful Space<\/a><\/p>\n

Evaluate opportunities for self-growth<\/span><\/h2>\n

All of this free time provides the perfect opportunity for introspection. Maybe for years, you\u2019ve wanted to start meditating, or maybe you\u2019ve always wanted to read more. No time is greater than the present to tackle some goals and make changes you\u2019ve always wanted to.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Try this:<\/b>
\nThink about what changes you are making that improve your well-being. How can you keep up those habits when the crisis passes? – <\/span>New Dream<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Use this time of rest as an opportunity to let go. Assess the life you\u2019ve been living and what you would like to change. Start by looking within. How can you declutter your mind, body, AND spirit during this virus? What positive things can you add to your life to help you get through this? – Kristin Fehrman, <\/span>Mindful In Style<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\"relaxing<\/h2>\n

Boost your immunity<\/span><\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, we don\u2019t yet know how to fully prevent or manage the damage caused by the coronavirus. However, this doesn\u2019t mean our efforts are completely hopeless. In addition to staying home, there are a number of simple self-care tips and practices you can incorporate to boost immunity and improve your health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Try this:\u00a0<\/b>
\nSea salt baths<\/span> are a great self-care tip to reduce stress and enhance immunity. They increase mineral levels and lower inflammation. I am also a huge fan of castor oil packs, placed directly on the abdomen or the liver because they pull toxins out of the body and can be done while laying down or relaxing. – <\/span>Mindful Health<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t let the fear and panic get under your skin. Every time you worry or surf the net looking for the updates, your cortisol level (stress hormone) goes up, and stress is not your immunity’s best friend. – Zara Martirosyan, CEO & Founder, <\/span>inKin Social Fitness Platform<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Intervals in the shower between cold and warm temperatures. To boost your immune system do 1-minute warm followed by 15 seconds cold.- Dennis Simsek, <\/span>The Anxiety Guy\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Remember – YOU ARE NOT ALONE<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s vital to stay connected during this time. Practice this self-care tip by Facetiming with your grandparents or having a virtual dinner party with your friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Try this:\u00a0<\/b>
\nSocial distancing does not mean social isolation. Isolation is highly risky behavior for anyone, especially given the anxiety and fear that has been embedded in the overall social reactivity. Creatively reframe the phrase self-quarantine to safe social connection. – Barry Pilson, Ph.D.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Realize we are all part of a community and we\u2019re all in this together, from <\/span>New York City<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>Sacramento<\/span><\/a> (and everywhere in between). We\u2019ll only come out stronger and more united in the end. Do things to help others in your community who may be in need, who may have difficulties helping themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Try this:\u00a0<\/b>
\nSome teenagers\/young adults are seeing how they can help the elderly in their neighborhoods with grocery runs, etc.- Dr. Daniel Binus, MD, <\/span>Beautiful Minds Medical\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
