We're here for you during COVID-19
Dear Everyday Health Readers,
We are living through an unprecedented time as we learn to navigate our “new normal” during the COVID-19 pandemic. Anxiety levels are heightened for us all as we worry for ourselves, our loved ones, our livelihoods, our communities, and for healthcare and essential workers risking their lives.
How can we lessen our fears around things we can’t control? How do we support our mental and physical health during this crisis and beyond? According to the world’s leading mental and emotional health experts, learning how to become more resilient is the single most important thing you can do right now.
To get you started, we’ve updated our Ultimate Resilience Resource Center, our gift to you for Mental Health Awareness Month. It includes dozens of helpful and inspiring articles (including the best movies, books, and blogs about resilience!), plus a scientifically approved assessment that measures your resilience level, as well as the first episode of Boxed In: COVID-19 and Your Mental Health — a new series from Everyday Health that focuses on conversations with mental health experts on the challenges this pandemic presents for all of us, and ways we can try to cope better.
We feel so strongly about what we’ve learned from these experts about resilience that we hope you’ll take the time to build your own resilience by reading up, taking the quiz, and watching the expert videos. The payoff? Less of the stuff you don’t want: fear, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, depression, sadness, and hopelessness. And more of the stuff that can benefit you in times of crisis and in everyday life, including a sense of hope and satisfaction with yourself, your relationships, your work, and your life overall.
Be well,
Maureen Connolly
