With the unfolding global coronavirus pandemic leading to people being confined to their homes, borders being shut and economic instability, it can be hard not to feel overwhelmed by the state of the world at the moment. The good news? Even in times of stress and anxiety, you can take proactive steps to lift your mood. 1. Distract yourself. It’s easy to run over and over the topic that’s stressing us out, whether that’s the new coronavirus outbreak, the state of the climate or something else. But stopping people from ruminating on a recent stressful event – by offering a distraction – can lower their blood pressure back to normal levels quicker than offering no distraction. 2. If you meditate, be aware that it might not work for everyone. In times like these, many people might find meditation and mindfulness helpful. But others might not 3. Reframe the situation. How we interpret our emotions is largely down to how they’re framed – in other words, the context. 4. Don’t obsess over being positive or happy. This one may seem counterintuitive: it can be a bad idea to chase positive emotions. Actively pursuing happiness can lead to the reverse effect 5. Focus on the small things. It may be wise, then, to spend less time trying to become happy, and focus more on the little things that make us happy. We can improve our mood by focusing on the small things that bring happiness to us each day 5.1. What experiences, however mundane, gave you pleasure? 5.2. What praise and feedback did you receive? 5.3. What were the moments of pure good fortune? 5.4. What were your achievements, however small? 5.5. What made you feel grateful? 5.6. How did you express kindness? 6. Clean up – maybe. Should you find yourself quarantined, take this opportunity to clean your house. "Kondo-ing" your home has been shown to carry many benefits. Clutter makes it harder for us to focus on tasks, so should you find yourself working from home, a quick tidy up might help you to get your jobs done. 7. Balance your social media consumption. Social media might appear to be filled with bad news, but for many it is also a key way to stay updated and connected with friends and loved ones. Keeping your phone out of your bedroom, or self-imposing screen-free time, can help you to balance the negativity with the benefits social media brings. 8. Get out of town. If you live in a city, another option might be to leave it behind for a short while – only if you can do so while maintaining safe social distancing and safeguarding your, and others’, health.
