If the pandemic has caused COVID anxiety in your life, find out how to effectively cope with it. Kate Skurat has prepared some great and simple tips.
Coronavirus has completely shaken our world. Over the past year, we have survived something previously unknown. The pandemic has paralysed all spheres of our lives, making us stay at home and follow guidelines with little power to escape.
What’s even more terrible, it will take a lot of time to fix the detrimental effects of this pandemic.
How is COVID-19 affecting mental health?
The pandemic has significantly affected the world economy, which resulted in a major fall off. Many people have lost their jobs and were forced to close their businesses.
No wonder many of us struggle with COVID-19 anxiety and even experience some other mental issues restraining us from having a happy life.
The good news is that it’s possible to get things back to normal with some time, effort, and good online therapy.
In this article, we will tell you how to stop worrying about COVID-19 and become a mentally healthier and happier person. It’s time to bring your peace of mind and harmony back into your life!
OVERCOMING ANXIETY
Now, take a closer look at these pretty simple, yet effective tips. They will help you improve your mental well-being, get rid of constant COVID-19 anxiety, and enjoy your life.
LIMIT ONLINE NEWS READING
Remember that although you cannot control the coronavirus situation, you have all the power to control the way you feel and define what to focus your attention on.
To alleviate your COVID-19 anxiety, the first recommendation is to minimize the time you spend online reading news related to the pandemic.
A big amount of information will make you even more overwhelmed and nervous. Instead, check the news only a few times per week just to stay well-informed.
Besides, stick only to trustworthy sources to have reliable data and avoid anxiety.
STAY PRODUCTIVE AND LEARN TO ENJOY
We pay way too much attention to all this pandemic hustle. Instead, it would be better if you channel all your energy not into COVID-19 anxiety but into becoming a more productive person.
Simply enjoy your life as you did it before.
If you are still in college, then devote your time to studying and learning interesting academic materials. If you are a working adult, this is your chance to scale up your professional competencies and climb the ladder.
This is the right period for you to become a better version of yourself. It will be useful to create a schedule and plan your week to have no room for COVID-19 anxiety.
Meet up with friends, do things that bring you pleasure, and simply get distracted from all this nightmare.
CONCENTRATE ON THINGS YOU HAVE CONTROL OVER
No one has power or control over this timeline. We still don’t know when everything is going to end.
However, you don’t have to get stuck with your thoughts of helplessness. Instead, focus on things that you are in control of. And this is your life.
To reduce COVID-19 anxiety, the great strategy will be to take responsibility for your thoughts and actions. You can change the situation for the better. It’s up to you to decide what news to read, what movies to watch, how to spend your free time, and what to do to get rid of burdening thoughts.
RELY ON YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY
Don’t forget that in times of COVID-19 anxiety, friends and family are your main source of support and understanding. If you feel low and cannot keep your thoughts together, talk to them.
These people are always there for you. You can share all your deepest thoughts and emotions and explain why you experience so much stress & anxiety lately.
They will not just be people you can rely on — they will do everything possible to pull you out of this dark place in your life. Powerful, inspiring personalities can also be discovered in the digital age.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY
Taking care of the emotional condition is vital.
Taking care of your body is also essential, especially when you are struggling with COVID-19 anxiety.
Make yourself a bubble bath, light candles, and read your favorite book. Get a massage appointment, do facials or another beauty routine you like. Doing something pleasant for your body will help you relax, turn off your negative thinking for a while and let you live it up.
ACQUIRE NEW SKILLS
Another great thing that will help you eliminate COVID-19 anxiety from your life is learning new skills. This is an excellent time for personal development and growth.
Invest your time and energy into acquiring new knowledge or skill.
For instance, if you have been dreaming of taking drawing classes, do this as soon as possible. You have to make your dreams come true.
If you do this during this challenging period, you will let something positive enter your life. You will have no time for negative emotions and distress.
TRY OUT YOGA, MEDITATION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITES
As you probably know, regular physical activities significantly reduce stress. Now is your chance to start exercising regularly, not just to make your body healthier and stronger but also to minimize anxiety and stress.
If working out a few times per week becomes your routine, it won’t take long to see that the balances in your hormone levels make you a happier and calmer person.
You can also try out yoga and meditation. These practices will help you clear your mind and find harmony in your life with no COVID-19 anxiety in it.
SEEK GOOD PROFESSIONAL HELP
If you are experiencing COVID-19 anxiety you can’t beat on your own, then don’t be afraid to look for professional help from psychotherapists. The good ones, that is! You don’t have to do this on your own. Your emotional health really matters, and you have to take care of it.
Online mental health professionals are a preferable choice these days.

The way to “deal” with it is not to just “let it flow because we can’t change anything” (this is “little me” thinking), while immersing ourselves in touchy-feely stuff, but to actively resist what is being forced upon us. We need to summon up some courage and fight back.
Wow, I made it out of Danistan without “covid cases” being discovered in Melbourne (although there were reports of “covid-19 fragments” in the sewage in several suburbs…does anyone still believe in this shite? Yes, I suppose…there are lots of sheeple out there). Thus no “lockdowns” or border closures, both unConstitutional…but the poor old Constitution seems to mean nothing now.
What I did get while in Geelong was a police email expiation notice ($1090) for “Person refuse/fail to comply during major incident”, i.e. refusing to submit to their fraudulent, invasive, Nuremberg Code-violating “covid test” on returning to Adelaide airport from Brisbane on the evening (29/3) that Anna Stasi put Brisbane into “lockdown” on the pretext of two “cases”, in order to strike fear into the populace at the time she needed to “Emergency Act” extended. I will not be paying this, and will be contesting it. This is not without risk (i.e. max $20,000 fine or two years’ gaol…anyone still unconvinced that we are living under medical fascism now?), but so be it. This fake “test” is the basis for the tyranny being imposed on the world, and it must be exposed.
People got to be mindful to see in wider view of the world now the population facing the Global problems The Global problems needs Global solutions Now Humanity under attack by Satan’s armies in human faces roaming wild in God’s Territory they want to destroy humanity We are In THIS HUMAN FAMILIES UNDER THE SUN Let WE all come together 90% of people against 10% of Devils WHOM HAS MORE CHANCE TO WIN? TO MAKE WORLD PEACE AGAIN The big question is DO PEOPLE HAVE THE WILL and WILLINGNESS to put into actions???
Yes we must partake in activities that bring us joy. We should also be realistic and watching the mainstream news a couple of times a week certainly would not help with any kind of anxiety you may be experiencing in my opinion. Time would be better spent seeking out truthful alternative news sites and journalists to be well informed.
