Lots of people in the US have had to stay inside for the past few weeks and will continue to do so for some more weeks to come. The social distancing that is necessary for this pandemic to slow down has meant that most people are stuck at home with only very essential trips to get groceries being done.
Now as we do this to help with our physical health, we must also try to not neglect our mental health which is equally as important. We at Roux Luxury Travel are here for you in this trying period. That’s why we’ve put together some tips that you can use to protect your mental health during quarantine. You’ll find them in the following paragraphs.
· Plan Everyday
A routine is the best for you in this period. It will help with your identity, purpose, and self-confidence. Start your day at roughly the same time as you would if you were going to work or school and set aside ample time for relaxation, connection and reflection too. You’ll also need to ensure that you carry out movement at some points during your day as this will help to reduce your stress level and increase your energy levels. Do as many exercises as you can and keep your body moving.
· Relaxation Is Good
Relax as much as you can and try to focus on the present. It’ll help improve your health and reduce negative feelings. You should also do meditation and breathing exercises throughout the day and also practice self-compassion. Do not neglect your sleep and try to get up and go to bed at the same time each day. Your body will thank you for it.
· And, Connect
Man, they say, is a social being. Keeping in touch with your friends, coworkers, family and loved ones will go a long way towards helping your mental health. Find creative ways to do that like video calling, online games, phone calls, and even text messages. These can go a long way towards making you all feel connected and supported. Staying at home can be a bit lonely. Even more so if you live on your own. Explore creative ways of keeping in touch with your coworkers, family, friends, and others. This will help you and them feel more connected and supported.
