Restraining Anxiety and Importance of Mental Health during Isolation

The halo of ‘invincibility’ that the virus has achieved has made us realise that this is the right occasion to juxtapose a virus with the world’s stockpile of weapons. This is the stark reminder that the most important thing to humans are life, mental health and reintegration with nature.

As the local government and authorities cannot turn a blind eye to the pandemic, to curb the spread of it more and more people are being told to stay home and practice self-isolation. While these measures can help you to improve your physical health but can also have an adverse effect on your mental health. The news of getting sacked out of jobs and emotional email all around the corner can trigger anxiety, loneliness and even depression. Time is even tougher for those having the pre-existing condition of OCD(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Albeit, the time is tough but there is a silver lining to it, you can make your mind stronger and restrain your anxiety by realising that your sacrifice of self-isolation is helping thousands who could suffer the same if you haven’t taken this step.

History repeats itself and this is the perfect time to stretch your threshold and prioritize self-care and protect your mental health with your immune system. There are lots of things you can do to keep yourself busy and stay active. As mobile phones have become all-pervasive to our life you can practise digital detox, it will keep you away from stressful and all kinds of news that can affect your mental peace. Meditation and books are the perfect combination to repair and restart your mental strength, as it helps you to stimulate your imagination. It is the perfect time to get out your sweat instead of your suits and try to practice good hygiene and stay fit both mentally and physically.
