Teaching students online or in a distance
learning classroom setting has become an
overwhelmingly successful and necessary resource.
While the flexibility and continuity of education
is a positive aspect of e-learning, staying
indoors 24/7 can take a toll on the mental health
of online educators and learners who have to
continuously conduct and attend online classes.

The high number of school closures in the United
States has led many schools to make the
transition to online learning with little time to
adapt. Adapting to this new normal is bound to
have an impact on the emotional well-being of
some. It is important for parents, teachers, and
students to understand that making mistakes is
okay. This is new territory for everyone, and
making mistakes helps us learn and improve.

Here are some tips that online educators and
learners can use to help boost their mental
health during times of crisis (like Covid-19)

Start your day with meditation. Meditation is
considered the best therapy for stress and
anxiety. Mindfulness, or a state of active
attention on a single point or on the present,
has come to the forefront in recent years as a
core component in mental health. In todays
stressful environment, relaxation techniques like
meditation can help you focus your thoughts on
your work and studies.
6
Meditation does not mean you are required to
focus simply on breathing. You can also exercise,
listen to music, or read something positive and
uplifting as you start your day. These meditation
activities will create a positive outlook in your
mind and set the right tone for the rest of the
day.
7
Eat right and exercise. We know this ones easier
said than done, but diet and exercise are key
components of a healthy lifestyle and have a
significant impact on your physical and mental
health.

Just because classes are happening online,
teachers and students should not skip meals or
work during their normal meal times. A great way
to boost mental health is to stick to a schedule
of eating the right meals, the appropriate
amounts, and at the right times.
9
Set realistic goals. Its not possible to achieve
everything all at once. The best way to ensure
youre hitting your goals is to make them
challenging but reasonable. These are trying
times for teachers, as they are still required to
teach students in the most productive and
valuable ways possible.
10
At the same time, they are still expected to meet
educational goals and standards. To ease this
pressure, teachers must set realistic and
achievable goals. Take small steps and utilize
the advantages of school management system
software.
