"I'm sure everyone at this time already has a well-developed arsenal of tools to keep their "roof" in place," writes Varvara Golyk, and suggests what helps her.

1. Movement

Very obvious, but physical activity really saves. Even just walking, such routine 10 steps a day, helps a lot to clear the head. In motion, it is easier to think, make decisions and resolve confusions.

2. Changing the picture before the eyes

Especially those who work remotely and do not leave the house for several days. If there is an opportunity to go somewhere, to another city, a short trip is generally great.

3. Friends, relatives, people you trust

A safe environment where you can ask for help and support is a strength. Being on an emotional low is normal, being angry, tired, discouraged is normal. So it is just as normal to talk about these states with people who are ready to listen and support.

4. Changing the routine

Changing even the smallest moments in the usual lifestyle gives significant relief. It is worth going somewhere on a new route, to a new coffee shop, changing your diet or sleeping pattern a little - and you already feel completely different.

5. Set a deadline

The effect of "making an agreement with yourself", allocating a certain finite (!) period of time to "be on an emotional low" and then continue moving towards your goals works great.
