How to Stay Mentally Fit Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 is the biggest medical emergency we’ve faced in the century so far. It has been debilitating for the human condition in more ways than one.
The health risk of this highly contagious virus spreading from physical contact or proximity is high enough. But barring people from meeting anyone and indulging in the paranoia surrounding COVID has been exhausting.
The stay-at-home orders have gotten exhausting to the point of working people on their last nerve. Prioritizing your mental well-being is as crucial as protecting yourself from coronavirus. Here are some ways to stay fit and happy.
Exercise
If you’ve not taken physical fitness seriously before, you should now. Climbing stairs, lifting grocery bags, or cleaning the space shouldn’t be excruciating. If you’re gasping for breath after climbing a flight of stairs or groaning with back pain after lifting a bag, your body is telling you to exercise.
But how does it make you mentally fit? Breaking into a sweat during a workout session allows your brain to release norepinephrine that manages stress levels and relieves your mind.
Once your body flushes out the toxins, you feel more revived and energetic, which automatically fights off the blues of staying home.
However, going to the gym is not an option. You need to build a fitness routine at home. Start with simple stretching and work your way upward as you feel more driven to take on bigger challenges. And remember to reward yourself with something luxuriously relaxing like a sauna bath.
Eat Clean
Eating healthy has a direct impact on your emotional and mental wellbeing. Having a double-patty hamburger with cheese dripping from the sides does look tempting. But it feels heavy to the point that you’re not able to bring yourself up from the couch; working out is not an option after that. It compromises your stamina and puts you several paces behind your last progress.
Eating fresh greens, beans, meat proteins, dairy, and water keeps your body hydrated, energized, and strong. And it’s not all boring salads. You can steam-roast a steak or bake seasoned baby potatoes and enjoy them with fresh yogurt or sour cream.
When your body feels less lethargic and more active, your brain is able to resist negativities that lure you into feeling low or trigger a depressive episode.
Relax and Repeat
Remember: your body needs some time off from a strenuous routine, no matter how productive it may be. Working out all day or eating clean every day of the week is not advisable. You need to strike a balance between fitness and fun. And we have the perfect idea for relaxing at home!
