COVID-19 Anxiety: How to Cope

If you have anxiety about coronavirus, you’re not alone. Many people have been experiencing Covid 19 anxiety, and understandably so. The virus is spreading, events are canceled, schools and businesses are closed, and these are uncertain times that we are living in. There is so much in the news right now about how to protect your physical health against Coronavirus, but not so much advice for how to protect your mental health from Coronavirus anxiety. And many people need that right now. My job as a Life Coach is to share practical strategies on how to reduce anxiety and teach how to activate helpful ways of thinking so that you can stay in a good place mentally and emotionally during this challenging time.

 

Specifically:

​

  • Stay informed—but don’t obsessively check the news

  • Focus on the things you can control

  • Stay connected—even when physically isolated

  • Take care of your body and spirit

  • Help others (it will make you feel better)

​

I hope these strategies help you reduce your anxiety about Coronavirus, and resource you to stay strong and resilient.

Wishing you love, healthsuccess and happiness.
