For most of us, we have never experienced anything like this before - a global shutdown of economy, social distancing measures, and indefinite lockdowns. When things are changing minute to minute, we may inevitably experience feelings of powerlessness and helplessness. In such uncertain times, our mind which is naturally geared to help us survive will desperately search for any information or solutions that will help us gain clarity. What is clear, however, is that we will find ourselves feeling even more overwhelmed when we over consume social media and news on Covid-19 which are often negatively skewed and sensationalized. Bad news can become more distressing when our anxious minds gravitate towards the worst-case scenarios.

We may also notice there are changes in our day to day life. We can no longer have our normal friend gatherings or parties. Kids are at home all the time.

Having a little predictability and a sense of control creates grounding, which may help us when we are unsure what this will look like ...
... in 1 week or 1 month from now.
