We all know how beneficial laughter is to our bodies and states of mind. However, it’s not the only way to protect your mental health. Especially if you’re staying at home and distancing yourself socially.

Bored Panda reached out to Mind, a UK mental health charity, to learn more about staying mentally fit during the coronavirus lockdowns we’re seeing around the globe.

Stephen Buckley, the Head of Information at Mind, explained that media coverage may increase people’s concern about the coronavirus, therefore, you should think about “taking a break or limiting how much you read or watch is helpful to maintain your well-being during this time.”

Most of us are guilty of following every tiny update about the coronavirus pandemic. But it’s far from healthy. It leads to anxiety. It leads to low-key panic. It leaves us mentally and emotionally drained. Though it’s important to stay informed, try to limit the amount of time you spend reading the news, especially stories about the ‘Coronapocalypse.’ Also, try to stick to reputable news sources so you don’t get worried over misinformation.

Staying mentally fit also means reducing the amount of time you spend scrolling through social media. After all, nearly everyone’s writing and posting about the coronavirus at the moment. You deserve a break from all of that. The good news is that sites like Twitter offer you the ability to mute certain keywords, to follow or mute accounts that might be making you anxious. So use those tools to filter your social media feed and go for wholesome news stories.

According to Buckley, some people might find that staying at home alone might not be ideal. “So try to think of alternatives, for example staying with a friend or family member. You can also keep up to date with the current government health advice about whether you need to self-isolate.”

ADVERTISEMENT

If you’re self-isolating, first of all, congratulations on making a smart decision. Well done. Unfortunately, quarantining yourself might be a bit, well, lonely. So keep connected to the people you care about by phoning, messaging, and emailing them regularly. We’re social animals, after all. Take away the social aspect and what are we left with?

Yep. Tech and video conferencing - who actually needs offices really? Very few jobs need to be held in buildings where you are all penned together these days.

Finally, remember the basics. Eat well, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly. Read a good book, maybe practice meditating as well. If anything, this crisis is the perfect opportunity to reexamine your priorities (and maybe even start a new hobby!). Above all, remember to laugh and smile a lot. Having a good sense of humor is going to help immensely in the months to come.

“Our physical and mental health are linked, so make sure you are eating regularly and drinking enough water,” Buckley explained. “Think about getting food delivered or asking someone else to drop food off for you. Being at home might impact your routine which can affect your appetite and when you drink water. It can help to create a new routine to make sure you are looking after yourself.”

Buckley stressed the importance of staying active and keeping your mind stimulated. “Keep your brain occupied and challenged. Set aside time in your routine for this. Read books, magazines and articles. Listen to podcasts, watch films and do puzzles.”

Yep, sorry anti-vaxxers. Though to be honest I'd give you a pass and let you have the vaccine (if you wanted it) because it would help OTHERS be safe.

I work with an anti-vaxxer family who has said they will all get the coronovirus vaccine as soon as it comes out. The dad said, "I would totally get the vaccine. Why take a chance on catching such a horrible virus when you could vaccinate against it?" I sarcastically said, "I know, right? Too bad we don't have vaccines for every horrible illness, like measle and such." He said that was different because the coronovirus is spreading unchecked across the world. I just walked away. I can't deal with that level of stupid.

A vaccine is not a cure. It can prevent an illness causing the illness in a very light measure.

Survival of the fittest. A.K.A. - Darwinism. Anti-vaxxers should be denied the vaccine UNTIL they get all the others.

There will never be a vaccine to cure anything. Vaccines don't cure disease. They prevent disease.

A vaccine is never a cure. A vaccine prevents and a cure, well... cures. Both thing would be great in this pandemic, though.

I wonder if this will change anti-vaxxers minds? Maybe calm that wave of ignorance...a little bit at least.

I don't think I've ever seen a Black anti-vaxxer. They probably exist, but in predominantly Black nations, people are anxious to get vaccines because the diseases prevented are still common.

Do much research on African countries and how vaccines did so much good for them did you now? Might want to check their death tolls.

OK, Pawpaw. Gotta set something straight with ya. Say you're standing in line to pay for tickets to the movies & the person in back of you a foot or 2 let's out a nasty cough & doesn't quite get their face covered. Now particulates of that cough can travel 50 mph & disperse 3,000 droplets of a questionable virus all over you - your hair, skin, clothes, & depending which way you happened to be facing, even your eyes. Now I don't know if you're one of the confused people that believe the "flu shot" is for a type of stomach bug. It's not. It's short for Influenza. A pneumonia based viral infection so virulent it can kill even the strongest. OK, o now you're infected, you've incubated but sure you're strong & healthy & don't get sick - BUT are you absolutely sure? Can you be sure you won't infect an elderly person, a small child , a pregnant woman, a person that you can't tell has a compromised immune system? Are you sure?

As they get older they find that vaccinations for pneumonia and shingles are recommended. There may even be vaccines for cancer. I bet most anti-vaccers will get them.

Nope! It's natural immunity! Just what is needed. What isn't needed are the added toxins such as mercury, aluminum, and numerous other poisons that hurt your brain.

I'm not an anti-vaxxer but I'll just self quarantine on this one. I do not care to make myself or my children a guinea pig.

They will do a great amount of testing before giving it to the public. Besides, it will most likely be given to the highest risk people first. They're not going to give it to millions of people without thoroughly testing it first. And once that happens it would be best for you to prevent the disease with the vaccine.
