The pandemic has been stressful for everyone. Coping with the disruption in the normal routine has been quite overwhelming. Being in lockdown or isolation can have a deep impact on our mental health. Social distancing can increase stress and anxiety among many. People feel that they have no control over the situation. They feel cut off from the rest of the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Coping with stress in a healthy way will help you focus on yourself & ease negative feelings. This World Mental Health Day, practice self-care in the following ways:<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Things That Make You Happy<\/b><\/h4>\n

Lack of sleep is one of the main causes of depression. Get therapeutic sleep. Try to wake up & go to bed at the same time every day. Take 6-7 hours of sleep every night. Reducing screen time two hours before bedtime will also help.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grow Plants<\/b><\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Growing plants is a healthy hobby. Taking care of greens and watering them is a stress-relieving exercise that can improve the way you think. Some researchers have discovered that talking to your plants<\/a> can help them grow faster. Talking to plants is therapeutic, just like talking to a friend or a companion.<\/span><\/p>\n
