Actions to help your emotional, physical, and financial health.
Although the current state of affairs can be overwhelming, diving into a rabbit-hole of panic and anxiety isn’t going to help you in the long run. To help, we’ve rounded up some essential tips on how to stay calm and controlled at this present time.
Limit the news
Whether you catch up on the news on TV, through the radio or your smartphone, it’s important that you limit your exposure to it. Scare-mongering is a very real thing, and hearing too much bad news and too many warnings can cause you to feel overwhelmed and depressed. Instead, turn off your device and indulge in your favorite hobby or catch up with loved ones.
Evaluate your budget
Now is a great time to go over your finances. Print out recent bank statements and categorize each outgoing. From here, you will get a clear overview of how much you spend on groceries, household bills, and extras. You may even spot that subscription that you forgot you signed up to so that you can cancel it and save a bit more money.
Check in with elderly family and community members
The elderly are more prone to contracting the coronavirus. It’s a good idea to call the seniors you know and offer your support. Ask them if you can pick up supplies from the store or simply chat to them about your day to take their mind off the situation.
The current climate can seem daunting, but we will get through this together. Do you have questions concerning the virus and your health insurance?
