[Epidemic prevention and control is everyone's responsibility] During the stay at home, there are several ways to help you relieve anxiety
Prevention and control of the epidemic is everyone's responsibility.
Currently, the outbreak of COVID-19 pneumonia is making a comeback in some areas, some of which are even under urban closures, so they have to be quarantined at home.
Some emotions in the family will hurt others if they are not abandoned as soon as possible; some emotions may look bad, but they can be turned into treasures and recycled; some emotions may become "harmful garbage" if they are not stopped in time.
During the epidemic, our work and life rhythms were disrupted, interpersonal communication and activities were restricted, and our lifestyles were changed. This change can easily lead to negative emotions such as anxiety, tension, worry, anger, depression, etc. When we see information related to the epidemic, especially when the number of confirmed cases increases, it is inevitable that there will be worries and fears. If this emotion persists for a long time, it will interfere with our normal life. Faced with such emotions, we need to take the initiative to adjust our emotions. Here are a few ways to regulate your emotions that may help you at home~
