OVERVIEW
In these times of the Covid-19 pandemic,
many people have to deal with the isolation
of a lockdown. Some of us may find it
difficult to cope with the isolation of the
lockdown and may build up anxiety and
boredom.
Coping with anxiety and boredom may be
hard for some of us. Therefore, let us
explore some of the methods of coping and
staying mentally healthy!
WHAT IS ANXIETY?
Anxiety is something that all people have at
some point. Although anxiety has its purpose
in warning the mind of incoming danger, too
much anxiety will hinder us from doing
everyday activities. It will lead us to feel
unhappy, upset and frustrated a lot.
WHAT IS BOREDOM?
Like anxiety, boredom is also something of
the norm. A lot of people grow bored when
they have too much arousal however cannot
find something to do that catches their
attention. As a result, they become frustrated
and angry, as well as become negatively
influenced by their urges.
HOW TO COPE? -
Many people have different ways to cope
however, here are 3 ways on how to cope and
stay mentally healthy.
1.Read a Good Book
Besides being a great choice to keep
boredom and anxiety away, reading also
helps in improving mental health. Reading
can strengthen your brain, increase your
ability to empathize, increase vocabulary and
even helps in preventing age-related
cognitive decline! Reading will also give a
large advantage for small children to readapt
to school once the pandemic ends.
