With parts of the world under lockdown, the pandemic can be an isolating and uncertain time. Whether you’re susceptible to stress or actively working through it, it’s good to know how to handle yourself – and troubling thoughts and emotions – when stress surfaces.
Causes of stress
It’s no surprise that stress can be triggered through a variety of ways. And, with covid-19 spreading across the globe, the pandemic itself can be behind stressful feelings. Many people feel anxious about catching the disease, worry about protecting themselves and loved ones, and have concerns over the future of the economy, their job, and their finances.
Managing stress
Stocking up on food and medicines (without stockpiling), staying in touch with friends and family, and staying at home if you feel sick are all steps you can take towards managing your stress during coronavirus. But beyond this, there are also ways you can tackle stress by taking a look at broader aspects of your lifestyle.
Sleep
Adults need around 8 hours of sleep each night. If your sleep is disrupted (for example, by travelling) or interrupted (such as through periods of restlessness at night), there can be a knock-on effect to your mental and physical health. If you suffer from chronic fatigue, this can exacerbate your stress. We recommend our NAD+ Combat Jet Lag Single IV Infusion or NAD+ Anti Fatigue Single IV Infusion to give your sleep a boost, and suggest setting yourself a sleep routine, where possible.
Positivity
At NADclinic, we’ve formed partnerships with a range of experts, including wellness coaches, to manage stress and keep your body and soul afloat during stressful periods. Mindfulness – such as living in the moment, meditating and practising your breathing – can all boost feelings of positivity. In addition, mindfulness can help you to relax and unwind, which in turn can have a positive effect on your sleep. Finally, in times of covid-19, we recommend being selective with news and media. Limit yourself to checking news websites just once a day and ensure you fact-check unfamiliar websites.
Drink & diet
It’s clear that what you put into your body affects what you get out of it – and perhaps the most important time to pay attention to this is during the coronavirus crisis. Our NAD+ Detox IV Infusions Programs can help you through your alcohol or prescription medicine dependency, while we have a range of treatments that can help give you the vitamins, minerals and nutrients your body needs to function at its finest.
Fitness
Keeping up your fitness might seem impossible under covid-19 lockdown, especially if you’re living somewhere with restrictions on outdoor exercise. Luckily, there’s still lots you can try in your own home, from investing in fitness equipment such as a treadmill or weights bench, to practising yoga, or even using your staircase as your very own stepper. And, if you find that you’ve got stubborn pockets of fat that just won’t shift, then it might be time to book in for your NAD+ Fat Burner Injection or NAD+ Fat Burner IV Infusions Program.
