Feelings of fear, anxiety, sadness, and uncertainty are normal during a pandemic. Fortunately, being proactive about your mental health can help to keep both your mind and body stronger.
Ways to take care of yourself include:
- Reading the news from reliable sources (and take breaks from the news) I recommend the CDC’s information
- Recognizing the things you can control, like washing your hands, disinfecting your home and car
- Taking measures only if recommended by the CDC
- Practicing self-care and self-loving
- Seeking help from a professional if necessary
