Restlessness and the COVID age

Restlessness and the COVID age

23 May 2020 by Ted Escobedo   2 min read

When someone is experiencing restlessness, they often describe it as feeling “on edge” or having an “uncomfortable urge to move.” It is a safe bet that more than a few of us are feeling restless. Here are a few tips on how to cope with this emotion that may seem overwhelming at times. (Courtesy of www.healthdirect.gov.au/)

  • Talk to your family, friends and work colleagues — don’t bottle up your emotions. If you have an issue with someone, try to deal with it straight away so you’re not stewing over it and causing yourself unnecessary stress.
  • Cry if you need to. Crying can help make you feel better. Don’t feel embarrassed. Crying can ease pressure and tension.
  • Look after yourself. Eat a balanced diet and get enough sleep.
  • Notice your feelings. Be aware of changes in your moods and thoughts and take note of anything that makes you feel good or bad.
  • Take time for yourself. Steal some time even if it’s only half an hour each day. Go somewhere quiet and relax.
  • Exercise. Take an online exercise class like yoga or pilates or do your own thing – just get moving.
