The fact that social “distancing” has become a social movement would be ironic if we weren’t in the midst of a global pandemic. Limiting the spread of this dangerous virus has resulted in lifestyle changes that would have seemed unimaginable just a few months ago. Suddenly we are trying to shop, work, and study online. Masks have become fashion accessories, and we are far more interested in 6 feet of space than 6 degrees of separation. But even those of us who don’t know anyone who has contracted Covid-19 are struggling to maintain our equilibrium in these strange times. Long after we finally manage to contain this pandemic, we will be talking about how it affected us, our communities, and society as a whole. We will write stories to commemorate the heroes, and conduct research to understand how and why we behaved as we did. But for now, many of us are just looking for ways to navigate the practical challenges of our “non-contact” lives, to stay electronically connected to the people we care about and manage our own levels of stress. Hearing about what other people are doing to cope can help. https://www.menshealth.com/health/a31678024/coronavirus-panic-psychologist-tips/ https://www.menshealth.com/health/a31738930/mental-health-coronavirus-psychologist-advice-productivity/ https://www.delish.com/food/a31669795/stress-baking/
