#145 - Coping with Anxiety During COVID-19

My guest is Lara Loverro, a health coach, certified intuitive
eating counselor, and she’s a professional mentee of mine.
Importantly, Lara is a resident of New York and her mother is
COVID-19 positive (over two weeks on a ventilator). Her teen son
is struggling with anxiety related to the trauma. Lara shares how
she and her family are coping and her recommendations for coping
with anxiety.

Coping with Anxiety Self-Care Checklist 


Create a simple daily routine and schedule to follow (this
can help minimize overthinking and hustle mindset when you aren’t
doing enough).

Limit media consumption (most all news, but especially
COVID-19 news)

Bond with family at home and distance (apps like Marco Polo,
Facetime, Zoom)

Create a self-care menu of activities you enjoy that can help
relax you

Sleep enough in the evening

Get help if you need it. Talk to your doctor or find a
psychologist. Telehealth sessions work to help you regulate
emotion.
