Wellness Series- Week 1

March 30, 2020 By Alex Windings Leave a Comment

During this uncertain time with the COVID-19 events, it is important to take care of your mental health! Mental health is just as important as physical health and we should not forget that in a time like this.

As someone who often feels anxious in times of uncertainty, one tool I often use is to separate the things that are happening around me in categories of things I can and cannot control. I found a helpful breakdown of current events happening around this pandemic posted by thecounselingteacher.com and I found it to be very helpful. See below:

Things I can control (Things I will focus on)

  • My attitude towards these events
  • Turning off the news when I need a break
  • How I follow the CDC recommendations
  • My own social distancing
  • My kindness and grace
  • Limiting my time on social media
  • Finding fun things to do at home

Things I Cannot Control (Things I will let go of)

  • If others follow the rules social distancing
  • The actions of others
  • The amount of toilet paper, other products at the store
  • How long this will last
  • Predicting what will happen
  • How others react

It brings me peace of mind knowing that I am doing all that I can, to do my part in a situation. We will continue to post mental wellness tips and tricks as this continues. Remember: YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
