When you are worried about something, ask yourself: "Is this really going to happen? What is the worst that could happen if it were? How likely is that? Is there something I can do ahead of time to prevent or prepare for it?" Often our worries are exaggerated in our minds because of negative past experiences but we can manage them. Journal or talk aloud to a trusted friend who can listen without judgement. Practice self care. If that doesn't help, there are still options to help you. Just ask.

Trauma focused yoga for navigating the isolation period. :)

A few tips where you are having trouble finding supplies at the store: You don't need fancy cleaners. A 1% bleach solution will kill any microbe more effectively than hand sanitizer. You can make this with 1 ml of bleach and 99 ml of water in a spray bottle. Don't use this on upholstery, carpet or fabrics but other hard surfaces will be fine. Soap and water are more effective than hand sanitizer. In fact, most studies show very little benefit or no benefit to adding hand sani...tizer to your hand washing regime. It is better than nothing when there is no soap and water available but baby wipes and really scrubbing will accomplish the same thing. Incidentally, bleach could kill SARS but not hand sanitizer. Can't find distilled water for your neti pot, CPAP machine or cool mist humidifier? Boil water for 1 minute then let cool. The 1 minute allows the boiling temperature to kill any minor germs that are safe for oral consumption but not necessarily for inside your nose and also causes the heavy metals and salts to settle out of the water making it safe for other uses. If you make a lot at once, refrigerate the extra but make sure you warm the water before rinsing your sinuses. Talk about brain freeze. Can't find paper towels? Use an old towel or rag for your cleaning needs and then throw it in the washing machine. If you used it with the bleach solution, only wash it with your whites. You can also hand wash it in hot water separately.
