In addition to all of the advice for how to remain physically healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health professionals are warning of the need to stay mentally healthy. According to the Centers for Disease Control, managing anxiety and stress at this time means we should do four things: (1) take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories, including social media; (2) take care of our bodies by eating healthy, continuing to exercise and getting plenty of sleep; (3) make time to engage in enjoyable activities; and (4) connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling, and share these strategies with others.
