“YOU AREN’T ALONE”
You may be feeling stressed which stems from simply being isolated. There are ways we can combat the anxiety you may be feeling.
My 5 personal favourite ideas to crush Cabin Fever.
GET OUT OF THE HOUSE
Being housebound is hard, But we are able to go outside. Even for a short time, take advantage of that opportunity. Exposure to daylight can help regulate the body's natural cycles, and exercise releases endorphins, creating a natural high. Even a quick stroll can help you feel better quickly.
MAINTAIN NORMAL EATING PATTERNS.
For most of us, a day stuck at home is an excuse to overindulge in junk food. Others might skip meals. Eating right will increase your energy levels and motivation.
SET GOALS
When you are stuck in the house, you are probably wasting time doing nothing of importance. Set daily and weekly goals, and track your progress. Monitor your eating habits to ensure that you maintain the proper balance of nutrition. We won’t be in this forever!
USE YOUR BRAIN
TV is a distraction, it is also relatively mindless. Learn/study something new "we have time now!" Read books or play board games. Stimulating your mind will help keep you moving forward and reduce feelings of isolation and helplessness.
EXERCISE
Luckily we can leave the house once a day. Find a way to stay physically active while indoors. Regular physical activity can help burn off any extra energy you have from being
