The coronavirus pandemic forces people to distance themselves from their families and friends. This has major negative effects on individuals’ mental health. Isolation is unnatural for a species that evolved through cooperation and collaboration. Humans seek connection and want to work together. Forbes health, science and psychology writer Alice G. Walton provides nine helpful strategies that you can easily employ to combat the blues and to stay sane while in lockdown.

Take-Aways

  • To stay sane while in lockdown, adopt nine simple practices. First, follow a daily schedule. Second, routinely do some exercise.
  • Third, spend time in nature. Fourth, declutter your home.
  • Fifth, create a meditation practice. Sixth, be grateful.
