“As we all know there is increased anxiety and worry about the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) on our lives. We worry about the impact on our families, ourselves and our community. Managing the anxiety and worry is important.
The fear and anxiety can be overwhelming at times and may impact our ability to take care of our daily responsibilities. Each one of us will react differently based on our own history, coping strategies and nature of our “worries”. We need to be aware that some of this anxiety and worry is “situational” and with healthy coping strategies such as : eating right, getting enough sleep, stay connected with our support systems, engaging in physical activity, and keeping things in perspective, we can manage the anxiety. However, we also need to be mindful and aware that we may need additional supports and even professional help if the feelings become overwhelming. “
