EAP Episode 112: Staying Calm During Coronavirus Chaos

On this episode of the Early Accountability Podcast, Kimi talks with listeners about 4 simple ways to keep calm during the coronavirus chaos. There is a lot of fear at this time of uncertainty in the wake of a global pandemic that is continuing to spread, but you do not have to let that fear overwhelm you. 1. Focus on what you can control – Practice mindfulness and be aware of yourself and others. Try to stay grounded and concentrate on the power you have in your world rather than getting thrown off by the lack of work, school, and childcare routines. 2. Practice self-care – As much as possible, commit to getting plenty of sleep, exercising, and sticking to a healthy diet. 3. Watch what you are consuming – If you find that the news is making you anxious, limit your time spent watching it. Consider whether the conversations you are having with other people are necessary and helpful or if you should shift what you are talking about. Do your best not to dwell or focus too much on what is going on while still being informed. 4. Remember that better days are coming – Remind yourself that this crisis will pass in time. Getting worked up about what is going on does not help you remain calm.
