• The COVID-19 pandemic has not only affected our
  social life but also contaminated our mental
  health to a great extent. With a wave of
  negativity fueling the news, social media, and
  even our day-to-day conversations, it would be
  natural to develop a stigma about living on with
  the virus and being pessimistic about work and
  people. Lets take a look at every aspect of
  our social and personal life that is being
  affected during our social isolation period and
  look at the best mindful ways to deal with the
  problems that arise.

• Staying Physically Healthy
• This might be the first thing that you learn
  about mental health, that it is majorly affected
  by your physical health. Being idle and focusing
  on negative things in life can make your mind
  develop more negative thoughts towards yourself
  and the world, which, in turn, will affect how
  you think and act generally.
• Remember, change of work is as good as rest. This
  is a time when you have to find ways to keep
  yourself busy with work, leisure, or mindful
  introspection. You can start a new hobby which
  youve always wanted to learn, or do play simple
  indoor games with your family. More importantly,
  create a new routine for this period where you
  can spend more time feeding positive and helpful
  things to your mind.

• Observing Our Emotions
• Were al facing unprecedented problems, either
  financial, social, or personal. And at times like
  these, one might become more anxious, irritable,
  depressed, or even suicidal. Whenever you feel a
  strong negative emotion, perform a mental
  backtrace to what exactly has caused that emotion
  and resolve that cause. Its easier said than
  done, but practicing emotional control can
  greatly help you stay active and battle negative
  thoughts.Discerning Right information From
  Wrong
• You dont have to know about every little piece
  of news, so only follow legitimate news outlets
  and consume only what is necessary. Dont spend
  your day looking and talking about whats
  happening around the world. Give credit to
  everything good that has been happening around
  you and keep your family educated and positive as
  well.

• Being Mindful Towards The Society
• Instead of being paranoid and distant to the
  world around you, you can try to be helpful
  wherever and to whoever you can. A significant
  part of happiness lies in sharing it with others.
  Start with feeding a stray dog if you want.
• If there are people who are ill or may have
  possible symptoms of COVID-19 infection, do not
  banish them, instead, take care of them with
  necessary precautions and help them get better.
  If there are people with existing mental problems
  like anxiety and depression, try to educate them
  about being mindful and make them feel positive.
• Remember, the more you help, the more youll
  contribute to your own positivity while you help
  the society fight the virus.
