A great deal of very important and necessary information on what needs to be done physically to deal with COVID-19 is being shared daily, but what about the emotional impact it is having on so many people?
Anxiety is a normal reaction to uncertainty and things that may harm us. People worry about their own health and the health of their loved ones, here and abroad. People may also have a lot of concerns around schools, work, their finances, their ability to take part in meaningful community and social events and hobbies, and other important parts of their lives. People who already experience a lot of anxiety may find their anxiety worsening.
It's important to be kind to yourself. This is an anxious and stressful time for everyone, and it's okay if you feel more anxious than usual, and it's okay to take time for yourself to manage your mental health. You are doing the best you can in a time when simply turning on the news can feel overwhelming.
While anxiety is a normal and expected reaction to the pandemic, too much anxiety can start to cause harm. Feeling stressed and fearful every day takes a toll on health and well-being very quickly. When anxiety and fear lead to panic, people may also take precautions that ultimately cause disruptions, like demanding a lot of tests or medical care when it isn't necessary or stockpiling certain supplies to the point that those supplies aren't available to people who are sick and need those items. In addition, when Cortisol levels (the stress hormone) going up, it could have a negative impact on our immune system and overall health. Let’s try to find natural and easy ways to bring our stress levels down as much as we can, during this challenging time.
What can we do?
1. Take reasonable action- it may help you take back control and reduce anxiety. Look to trusted organizations and agencies like the Government of Canada, and the World Health Organization for information about steps you can take to reduce your risk of getting sick or passing the illness on to others.

2. Take care of yourself – eat as well as you can, avoid junk and fast food, increase your veggie intake. Nutrition is essential for our immune system, energy levels, and mood support! Exercise regularly, get enough sleep, meditate and make time for hobbies.
3. Stay connected with family and friends - isolating yourself from others, such as staying home from school or working from home for longer periods of time, can affect your mood. Find ways to connect with people you care about in other ways. If you can't see someone in person, you can still reach out by phone, text, or video call.
4. Support yourself and your family with essential oils! They offer physical, spiritual and emotional support. Although aromatherapy should not be considered a miracle cure for serious emotional issues, the use of essential oils may assist, with particular emotional issues and emotional states. Additionally, the proper use of essential oils may provide support and help balance your emotions during this challenging period. Your overall well-being is the key factor for how you will deal with this situation during this period of time.
To find inner peace in today’s reality seems like mission impossible but we should do our best to calm down, one drop at a time, designate few moments a day for self-care rituals for yourself and your family members. Some of the powerful essential oils that can support you emotionally and dissolve anxious feelings are Bergamot, Cedarwood, Lavender, Vetiver, Clary Sage, Roman Chamomile and citrus oils.
