Coping with Stress during a Crisis
Talk To Your Loved Ones
It’s normal to feel sad, stressed, confused, scared or angry during the crises like COVID-19. Talking to people you trust can help. You can spend time with your loved ones at home or remotely through email or video chat.
Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
When at home, maintain a healthy lifestyle – including proper diet, sleep, exercise and drink water. There are many free sources out there to stay in shape by doing at home workout videos, online healthy recipes and blog posts.
Don’t use Drugs or Alcohol to Cope
If you feel overwhelmed, talk to a health worker or counsellor. Have a plan, where to go to and how to seek help for physical and mental health needs if required.
Get The Facts
Gather information that will help you accurately determine your risk so that you can take reasonable precautions. Find a credible source you can trust such as WHO website or, local or state public health agency.
Revisit Old Hobbies/Skills
Draw on skills you have used in the past that have helped you to manage previous life’s adversities. Use those skills to manage your emotions during the challenging time of this outbreak. Pass new trails and badges on Trailhead, or study for an exam that you have not previously had the time to do so.
