How to avoid emotional exhaustion in lockdown

Some pointers that could help you survive spiraling negative thoughts about this uncertain time.

• Make an effort to create a schedule. This brings a semblance of normalcy to our life. It lets us know that life is on track and we are in control of things.

• Change your mindset from “I am stuck inside” to “I can finally focus on my home and myself”

• Do not believe in rumours or news that comes on social media. Verify the source of the news and ensure it's credibility

• Avoid obsessing over endless Coronavirus coverage on TV and Mobile. Watch movies on Netflix and Prime

• Unclutter your home and make your room tidy. Avoid eating on bed. Wake up early like your routine.

• Talk to your friends, family, anyone. Humans need to feel connection. It’s what makes us feel happy.

• Adopt healthy sleeping and eating habits that build immunity.

• Make time to learn a skill, such as cooking, painting, or even a new language.

• Stay connected with loved ones through video and phone calls, texts and social media.

• Get in touch with people you have not been talking to for a very long time

• Maintain a regular sleep routine, eat healthy foods and maintain a balanced diet. Avoid binge-eating.

• Don’t judge people and avoid jumping to conclusions about who is responsible for the spread of the disease. The coronavirus can affect anyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity or sex.
