Your panic may increase your risk!
Our planet is in fear. But while we are seeing global messages daily to protect our physical health such as washing our hands, social distancing, many are in fear, stress, and panic. Though the seriousness of Coronavirus cannot be minimized, the panic surrounding the coronavirus is sweeping our world. Although preventive actions like closing schools, cancellation of vacations, and travel plans are for good reasons, this can also be partly explained why people are in panic mode. People are being influenced by one another and letting emotions dictate their behaviour, instead of taking a rational approach. It is due to this herd mentality, toilet paper is flying off the shelves.
Your panic and stress could make you more susceptible to this viral infection. Your emotional health is intricately linked to your immune system. Your immune system cells travel throughout your body and defend it against antigens, such as viruses. Panic is an extreme fear response triggering stress hormones that suppress immune function; by reducing the number of its virus-fighting cells.
I encourage everyone one to remember, that you were born with an incredible healing power inside of you that knows to fight against all viruses, bacteria, and pathogens, on a daily basis. All you got to do is take care of this immune system right now and avoid panic.
Here are some thoughts to avoid Panic and stress.
*Sleep better
* Exercise
* Spend quality time with family
* Unwind yourself
* Read, cook, meditate, watch movie
* Relax in a bath
* Go for a walk
* Don’t give your power to media
* Stop listening to your friend who says the world is going to end
Be reasonable and be cautious, but don’t be frightened.” Every hardship will always end with some positive. Take care of yourself and your loved ones, believe in yourself. This too shall pass.
