Pandemic fatigue and mental health - March 25th 2021, 09:50 AM
Because like so many of us, my sisters, Ted and I have bouts of sometimes, crippling anxiety. One method of reducing it is avoiding watching news on TV (unless there is an important government announcement), or reading corona news online. Instead we go for a walk, often staying out longer in my case, so I can do my online coursework, but mainly for that I go in our garden. And take a cafetière of hot black coffee. Mmmm!

This morning I found a very good article about pandemic fatigue and mental health in Monaco Life which we subscribe to. This article is very good! https://monacolife.net/pandemic-fati...mental-health/

The article made me wonder if 'Mindful Breathing' would significantly reduce the anxiety. I found this! https://www.helpguide.org/meditation...meditation.htm

Less than 10 minutes later after listening to this guided meditation, I felt lots better! I recommend it to you. It would be encouraging to read your thoughts on it.

Ted and I have adopted this method of Mindful Breathing. It's helping us deal with this ever-nagging anxiety, and I hope you will find it helpful, too.
