Question

Identify 2 strategies to positively affect a person’s mental state during the Coronavirus

Answer 1

During these hard times, socialization is important. Most people already have their family living with them--especially minors. Friends are people who you feel close to, people you feel comfortable enough to be around on a regular daily basis. This excludes romantic relationships or family. In order for these friendships to stay healthy and strong, social media is a huge option to connect to those other than your family. They say friends come and go, but family is forever, but the power of friendship gets stronger within time, so family and friends end up being equal in the long run. In older adults, friendships are actually a stronger predictor of health and happiness than relationships with family according to research by a Michigan State University scholar. By keeping in touch with friends virtually, you will feel just as happy as before.

Exercise is also important. Nobody said to be jogging miles and miles in one day or to be doing 100 pushups between meals. It can be fun! FaceTime a close friend or family member and exercise with them! Wear a mask and stay at least 6 feet apart during a walk. Skateboard, bike ride, or rollerskate around the block or in a safe spot with little to no people. Addicted to video games? Try some Kinect games on XBOX! Not only will this keep you in great shape (and give you some kEwL muscles to show off after quarantine), but it will also keep you in good mental shape. Positive distraction and fun busyness are important when staying at home during these times, and exercise definitely fits within that catagory. It could even help you sleep better at night. ;)
