Here are some more ideas on how we can get through these tough times together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 1st step in handling a crisis is about practicing techniques to calm yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last days\u2019 posts were about calming yourself by taking control of your breathing. Also, use a soothing mantra to help you gain perspective and offer comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another important way to calm a stressed body and mind is to keep cool or get warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today it is about taking brisk walks if you can. This has proven to be very effective in reducing cortisol levels in the blood – one of the body’s main stress hormones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walking also often means removing ourselves from our sources of stress – during these times, mainly the news flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
