Hello guys. As you know, there is only one issue on our agenda that attracts attention. Moreover, after the announced case, our anxiety about the virus increased a lot. I always say, although anxiety is a motivational emotion that drives us, it can sometimes cease to be functional and create problems. That's exactly why I want to talk to you about all kinds of viruses.
It's good that we just worry a little bit about the current agenda. Because, thanks to this coronavirus concern, we take the necessary measures and protect ourselves. This part of the anxiety is functional. But the problem is that when we experience this anxiety beyond the required levels, it serves the opposite of our purpose.
We all know that anxiety, which turns into an anxiety disorder, has many negative effects on our psychological state. However, it also has physical effects as well as psychological. Excessive anxiety causes stress in our body and causes our immune system to decline. So What Can We Do? There are several things we can do to protect both our physical and psychological health from the Corona virus.
How to Cope With Virus Fear?
Stay in the moment of anxiety now and now. There is no threatening situation right now. You are safe right now. To stay in the moment, you can concentrate on your breathing and focus on the coolness that breathing creates in your nostrils and trachea. Breathing is the only anchor that focuses you on the present.
If you can't get rid of your anxiety, you can find activities that help you calm down. These can be stress-reducing activities such as meditating, exercising, hiking or meeting with friends.
Stay away from information pollution. Just as we keep our hands free from dirt, we must keep our ears free from information pollution. In all kinds of social media channels such as Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook, unfounded rumors that aim to scare people are beginning to spread. This continues to feed people's concerns. We should avoid such rumors and listen to official statements as much as possible.
Follow the recommendations of trusted health institutions and organizations such as the World Health Organization. Measures such as avoiding crowded environments, being protected if we are entering, washing our hands frequently are sufficient for your safety. Although there is no benefit in producing anxiety despite doing these things, it can also negatively affect our health, as we have just mentioned.
Take plenty of vitamins and take care of your diet. This keeps your immune system strong.
Sleep well. There are many benefits of getting enough hours of sleep. Good sleep keeps your mind vigorous and thus prevents you from panicking thanks to the right ways of thinking. At the same time, getting enough sleep helps the immune system to be vigorous.
Do not enter areas that are very crowded as possible, and try to leave at least one meter distance between you and people when you enter.
