Good Lifestyle

The pandemic coronavirus has put the world in unexplored waters - a world of total closures of the city and rarity of the bathroom. The uncertainty surrounding the virus, including daily titles on the number of increasing cases, can be alarming. But it's never a good idea to panic. We asked the experts to give us 30 good reasons why. Read in the end and see if you do not feel better - and share it with someone in need.

"Panic is never useful because our brain of thought is not online at that time, it just does not work," saysJudr Brewer, MD, Ph.D., a psychiatrist and a neuroscientist at Brown University. "It's important to realize that when we panic, we do not think correctly, and panic is only one form of unknown scenario."

"When we panic, other people panic," says Brewer, who organizes aDaily video podcastBy facing coronavirus anxiety. Think of the national race on food paper and toilet - when we see people to make decisions out of the panic, we follow the pursuit, the copy of behavior that is not logical, useful or necessary .

"The panic causes a huge amount of stress," saysDr. Joyce Mikal-Flynn, which specializes in post-traumatic growth. "We have a stress hormone, Cortisol, who is there to work in our defense - to help us fight or flee if there is a real situation in progress. But it is not supposed to be there all the time."

Chronic stress can harm your immune system, which makes you more sensitive to disease.

The panic will not solve or eliminate the situation at hand, it will simply make you distress.

"The first thing I say to tell people is to start with the facts," says Mikal-Flynn. "The facts are, it's a real thing. People get COVID-19, and some people lose their lives accordingly. But the other facts are 80% of people who get COVID-19 have a minimum of symptoms. Twenty for One hundred people who have serious symptoms are neat at the hospital, where there are appropriate care for them and they are generally higher. "

"Think of other times in your life, you overcome the challenges," saysSusanna Guarino, MS, LMHC, a licensed mental health advisor in Rochester, New York. "How did you do it? These domestic resources are still in you. Even when the worst happens, we have the choice to answer how to answer. We can bring us our best to this crisis."

"The most important thing you can do is to focus on what you can control," said Mikal-Flynn, who organizes aPodcaston how to get through this period of time. "And even if we are stuck inside, there are a lot of things that people can control with regard to their daily lives, which can make it meaningful, nice and fun - and can also keep you as healthy as you possibly can it. "

"In any important situation in life, we want to make decisions of logic and wisdom, no emotion, and it is the difference between being prepared with information against panickers", declares the psychologistKelsey M. latimer, Ph.D., CEDS-S. "I strongly recommend limiting time a day that we look at the news (which can increase our fear), and including as much normality as possible in our daily routine to practice self-care."

"Epidemiologists and immunizers will talk about the worst scenarios because they want to have a preparation for that," Mikal-Flynn said. "For the most part, the worst scenario does not arrive. If they think, they are already considering it. So, if you start hearing this information and it makes you anxious, stop."

"It is absolutely essential to get out of the doors," says Mikal-Flynn. "We can not go out in groups of 10, but you can always get out of the doors and get out of the doors for some periods of time during the day is a very important thing to do."

"When you make a type of exercise, it frees dopamine endorphins and neurotransmitters that will help you calm down," said Mikal-Flynn. This can be as simple as walking in your garden or around the block.

Use this time to connect with your friends and family through programs such as FaceTime and Zoom.

During periods of crisis, children and young people are turning to parents and seniors for signals on how to react. The most important thing is to be a soothing presence. Answer their succinct questions, make sure it's correct to ask questions and search for answers that you do not know together.

"If you panic, think, it's okay. 'It's good to lose it, but we do not want you to stay there," says Mikal-Flynn. "Use this as a trigger to a productive and healthy answer, you Concentrate on your answer, not the problem. "

"When you can start finding a meaning in your anxieties, your suffering and your challenges, so sufferings and challenges tend to leave," said Mikal-Flynn. "You get insights and do you think:" You know, interesting. I learned a lot about me through all that. "

Ensure that we all do our share of social distance and quarantine of oneself so that we can help protect vulnerable - is vital right now."

An effective therapy tested for anxiety and depression consists in keeping a gratitude journal in which you write three things you are grateful. They can be as basic as your home, loved ones or food in your kitchen. "Our brain creates neuronal paths according to our habits and ways of thinking," says Goldberg. "A practice of gratitude can help us refocus our attention on what we appreciate rather than what we lack, so we can rewire our brain and have a more balanced perspective."

"We have all seen empty supermarket aisles and hand running on the labor and masks of the hand. Our health professionals on first line lines need supplies to protect us all. "

"The situation is very fluid right now," says Goldberg. "The children are at the school's house and jobs are uncertain. Like humans, it is normal to want to feel certain and have a control. A practice of meditation can help us practice being ok with L 'unknown."

"This is the message I spread to my patients and friends and friends and my family: we can all take this time to make projects that we have never done, improve our businesses, learn a new competence, clean the house, organize, "saysRafael A. Lugo, MD, Facs, from the Lugo surgical group in forests, Texas. "Spend time with family, self-help books, get the adjustment. Take your attention to television and do something productive.

"When I had to close my medical practice earlier this week and tell my eight eight employees that we do not work and we do not know when we come back, the panic settled on me. It's normal.

"Stress levels tend to reduce when we increase our feeling of predictability and controllability," says Bonueior. Keeping a daily routine can help you: get up at the same time every day and shower, dress, work and exercise according to a regular schedule.
