| Abstract | A low level of anxiety is common, as it is a healthy reaction to the unknown for most people. However, unforeseen circumstances such as a pandemic, can heighten anxiety to unhealthy levels thus impacting an individual's ability to function. Germani et al. (2020) states, "Uncertainty and instability are emotions… that generate worries about the present and future and are a source of anxiety that impacts negatively on personal and interpersonal functioning. Anxiety seems a central part of the pandemic…" (p. 1). Strategies to cope with heightened anxiety are geared towards providing a calming effect or to change focus on what is causing the anxiety. Traditionally, many chose activities such as massages, travel, or socializing, to unwind and take their minds of off the general stressors in their lives. However, these options were not available for the majority of 2020. This paper discusses the strategies of exercise, meditation, and laughter, which may seem basic, but can serve the purpose of easing anxiety. These strategies do not replace therapies but could be used in conjunction with other treatments. (As Provided). |
