This comes from Stephen Dinan at The Shift Network:
"An imperative
for a positive outlook moving forward is that you need to optimize your own psychological
and physical health to boost your immunity and your resilience. You want to
enter this window as strong as possible. The most basic recommendations for
self-care:
1.
Sleep at least eight
hours every night.
2.
Get regular exercise,
preferably outdoors.
3.
Eat a balanced and
healthy diet.
4.
Meditate or pray daily
to focus your mind and uplift your consciousness. Double down on your spiritual
practices.
5.
Work with fears as they
arise but don’t let them overwhelm you.
6.
Focus on opportunities,
not doomsday scenarios: how can this situation cause positive changes that we
and the world need anyway? This keeps us out of a hopeless victim mentality,
which is bad for our health.
The
basic principle here is that for you to be a positive example and support to
others, you need to double down on practices of self-care so that you can
uplift people who are going to be experiencing fear, anxiety, and scarcity.
