COVID-19: Living Through Anxious Moments

Posted on: 17th Apr 2020

It is almost impossible to do anything right now without hearing the word “coronavirus.” The anxiety is real and growing, especially with the extended lockdown period.  Most of the time, anxiety is connected with sleep disorders, and to be able to fight with this problem, you need to be comfortable with your bed, especially with your mattress. You should invest in a premium-quality mattress like the Tempur-Pedic Mattress Review, which can give you ample sleep.

While it is normal to be worried, anxiety does more harm than good. So how do you clear your head and make the best out of this challenging situation?

1. Screen all the information you see

As much as there is information, there is also misinformation. Stick to trusted sources such as the NCDC, WHO and relevant government authorities. Compulsively checking the news and social media for updates will fuel your anxiety rather than ease it.

2. Focus on the things you can control

There are so many uncertainties right now, but focusing on questions with unknown answers and circumstances you cannot control is overwhelming. Instead of allowing yourself to get caught in the fear of what might happen, focus on what you can completely control like keeping yourself healthy, tracking your finances and following the health guidelines of NCDC while you observe the lockdown/social distancing.

3. Be intentional about finding calmness

You have to become proactive about finding ways to calm the storm in your head. For some, taking up meditation helps, while others find calm in talking to loved ones, learning music from this page helps, listening to music also helps, and so does writing down the things you’re grateful for every day. Find what works for you.

4. Plan for life

While we are positive that we will all get over this trying time together, you need to plan for tomorrow. You should think of investing in a life insurance plan to keep you secure and confident about the future.
