Five Basic Tips to Handle the Scare of the World More Sanely

There’s been a lot of panic about the recent viral outbreak. There are many theories to its origins, some more terrifying than others. There is still a lot we do not know. There are some things we do. Currently, there is no approved standard treatment, only necessary sanitation and immune supportive measures to try to avoid getting sick and optimize wellness.

We must be mindful and take care of those most at risk by following the recommended measures. That being said, reacting with overwhelm and anxiety can negatively alter our immune system. While it is wise to take proper precautions and keep our immune system strong, and others safe with staying home, it’s also important to not panic. We must do our best to handle the unknown with more faith.

I just posted an update on my homepage regarding the current pandemic. In it, I discuss the ever-evolving facts and also why it’s important to do our best to remain centered. Please click here to read it so you can have a more comprehensive picture of the situation.

How to Stay More Serene During the Pandemic

So, how do we not panic with announcements of quarantines and outbreaks, news media feeds at Y2K levels, and hand sanitizer sales reaching an all-time high? It’s natural to have some trepidations, and we must be gentle with ourselves. Thankfully, we have some tools that can help us through this with more sanity.

Below are some tips for helping us through this situation with more serenity. These are not cures of the recent pandemic and are not approved to treat, cure, or prevent it! They are meant to be supportive of health, however.

1. Be practical and cautious. Use all your proper hygiene methods, wash hands, and consider using essential oils, such as Thieves oil to supplement your cleaning and support your overall health. Carry hand sanitizers with you if you go out and be a little more diligent in using them and wiping things down. Also, please stay home whenever possible and follow containment guidance from states and nationally to protect the more vulnerable population.
2. Read my articles on coping with stress and using essential oils to calm the brain and body. It’s hard when fear is all around to get back into our rational brain and allow our body to reset. These aromatic tools can help accomplish this.
3. Many people who have complications from this virus are already compromised or have abnormal immune responses to the virus, so it is important to stay strong physically and emotionally for ourselves and others. Self-care is a priority now.
4. Consider EFT and tapping. This link provides some good morning and evening sequences that are under 10 minutes for managing stress. They can help quiet your mind and allow you to move forward. There is also a specific tapping sequence on panic around the virus.
5. Get good rest, proper hydration, adequate nutrition, and love-up on your loved ones and furry friends at home! Reach out virtually during self-containment. These all are great wellness boosters! (source)

May you all stay strong, safe, healthy, and sane as you navigate through this troubling time.

My Disclaimer About Immune Supporting Measures

The above suggestions are for overall health only.

According to experts and the World Health Organization (WHO), there is no approved standard of care treatment, cure, or preventative for COVID-19. Supportive measures and containment are in full force as a result. Please see the CDC website and your state’s website for more information and updates. They also state when to contact your physician related to symptoms and travel history, exposures.
