INTRO:
We explored how to cope like a legend with the stress of COVID-19, investigating just what stress is, and presenting both emotional and practical coping strategies.
We touched on the following:
- That one in three people will have mental health issues at some stage of their lives and that device addiction doubles any stress
- That stress is a transaction between you, your environment and the stressor
- That there are two main ways of coping: problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping
We listed some very practical ways in which we can cope with stress on a day-to-day basis, including ways to change our diets, keep our minds focused in the present, and create memories for ourselves in COVID-19.
