No matter where you are in the country, the COVID-19 virus has seemed to dominate our lives. We wake each day to uncertainty, fear, and yes – cabin fever. Thankfully, human nature is designed to rise to the challenges that we face. However, it’s understandable that sometimes it’s hard to stay positive when we don’t have the luxury of daily interaction with our peers or the familiarity of our daily routines.
Positivity is a core ingredient for successful coping skills in the face of a crisis like this one. Now’s the time to be proactive about staying positive and creating small moments of joy and memories throughout our days. Making an effort to experience positive emotions will help to reduce the negative effects of stress.
Here are some useful ways that we can help nurture positive emotions to get us through these difficult times.

Appreciate the simple. Even if you are sheltered in place or not able to socialize as you normally would, there are small, simple moments to take from each day. It might be the smile or laugh of your child. It might be a hot shower without interruption. It can even be the smell of coffee in the morning. When you stop to appreciate the simple things, you’re giving your brain the opportunity to process the pleasure and boost serotonin – the feel-good neurotransmitter that brings calm and aids in elevating your mood.
