Coronavirus is spreading like crazy around the world.

You are hearing the news of people getting affected, some getting recovered and some reaching their final destination.

It is normal that we as humans are getting mentally stressed out due to the news and wondering when life will be back to normal.

Here are few things that you can do to imagine a better life ahead and reduce spreading the virus :

- The very first thing you can do is to Stay Home Stay Safe, do not step out of home unless it’s really necessary.

- Calm Yourself by doing the things that will make you feel better.

- Talk to someone and share your stress, feelings and thoughts. When you share them, you get an understanding whether to let go of the feeling, move on or come up with a plan as to how to deal with it.

Having said that, do not talk about the same things repeatedly (i.e., more than twice) to any individual. If you are still not able to come out of those feelings, it might be something you want to work through with a mental health professional.

- Don’t compromise on Sleep

- Don’t skip exercises. It’s not necessary that you go to Gym and exercise, there are other exercises such as walking, meditating, yoga, breathing exercises and a few others.

Do mention in the comment, if you want me to write on different breathing exercises I will be glad to share knowledge on it

While all the above-mentioned tips will definitely help, the need of the hour is a quick boost to your immunity system to keep it fighting fit.

Here are few simple things that you need to know about health maintenance :
