10% Happier Podcast will help you weather the Covid-19 storm

It’s normal to feel anxious because of Covid-19

And to be completely honest, it was very hard for me to really accept the new form of lifestyle that many of us find ourselves in.

We need to stay away from others and we are more confined to our homes in order to save people.

We need to wash our hands and be diligent about hygiene to protect others and ourselves.

So how do I not lose sanity?

Because I have already had negative feelings of wanting to flee, wanting to go back to drinking, wanting to not give a crap, wanting to run into the forest where no one could find me.

Don’t worry. I haven’t taken action on any of those thoughts.

I have also already had positive feelings of laughing until my belly hurt, exhaustion from running outside, extreme satisfaction from eating a great meal, inspiration from listening to a podcast.

Here’s what the 10% Happier Podcast offers as practical actions to allieviate 

• get outside and move your body 
• lead from a place of compassion
• wash your hands for 20 seconds while saying: “may I be happy, may I be healthy, may I be free, May all beings be happy, be healthy and be free.”
• limit how much you are listening, speaking, and reading about Covid-19
• If you have funds, keep donating and patroning
• check in on neighbours, friends and family by phone, letter, or online methods
• try meditation

There is so much more in the full podcast How to Handle Coronavirus Anxiety | Special Edition. It really gave me a lot of practical tools that I could use to help me when I enter into states of anxiety and worry.

I will have more moments when I fall into dispair and I know that I can come back to these tools and find my way out.

Please share these resources with everyone you feel could benefit.

Take care in your home. Wash your hands. Focus on what you can do to keep yourself healthy and sane.
