Limiting Your Mental Exposure to Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID‑19)
During this unprecedented time with the COVID-19 pandemic, as we limit our exposure to people and places, it's also important to limit our mental exposure as well.
HeartMath Institute states, "Research has shown that balancing the energetic nature of our mind and emotions while practicing compassionate care for ourselves and others ENHANCES the immune system. However, excessive worry, anxiety or fear COMPROMISES the immune system, and much more, making us increasingly susceptible to viruses and disease. Fear disempowers us, whereas the attitude of managed concern leaves us more in charge of our mental and emotional nature — and creates easier access to our intuitive guidance and highest choices. Fear disrupts this connection, especially when we need it the most for grounded direction."
While it's important to monitor the news reports, and feel connected with friends and family via social media and technology, it's important to be aware of how much time you are mentally giving the Coronavirus. The unending news reports and social media posts suck our energy vibration into a low vibrational frequency and our nervous systems remain in constant Fight-or-Flight mode (aka stress!) This lowers our immune system. Staying aware of the situation but choosing to mentally switch to topics and activities with higher vibrations and a more positive vibe (managed concern) will be extremely helpful to your mental and emotional state while helping enhance your immune system. Managed concern is a mental and emotional state that can leave us informed but not infected and debilitated by the emotional virus of fear momentums.
This can be challenging at first, but don't give up. Have compassion for yourself and for others and keep reminding yourself to take small steps in a more positive direction.
