Psychosocial support: Things to do to Reinforce Positivity
- Distract yourself from the monotonous Covid-19 messages that cause distress
- Reward yourself for completing difficult tasks
- Manage your time and balance your responsibilities by creating to-do lists and prioritizing tasks
- Social distancing does not mean social isolation. Reach out virtually through communication devices and check in regularly with people you care about
- Make phone calls, video calls or send a text using social media
- In spite of physical distance, we can still connect with one another online in virtual spaces
- Write down what you can and cannot control
- Fear and anxiety are natural responses to the unknown. Journal your thoughts and see what are the things you can change and those you can’t
- Practise personal self-care in a mindful, compassionate way
- Be present in the moment
- Have a balanced diet, exercise and adequate sleep
- Follow relaxing activities like deep breathing that boost our immunity
- Meditation and yoga are invaluable tools that use controlled breathing
- Focus to help the younger or vulnerable students deal with their anxiety and confusion during this pandemic
- Remember the situations of complexity and crises that you faced earlier in life. You can face crisis similarly in the present too
