Stay in the Moment

Has your emotional well-being been affected by living through this pandemic? It is essential to be attentive to our emotional wellbeing because emotional health is just as important for our physical health as mental health. Emotional health has to be practiced and nurtured every day.

You can practice sustaining your emotional health by keeping yourself in the present moment. We cannot predict our future and our past is permanent, so maintaining your thoughts and perspective in the here and now can help control stress, anxiety, and depression. Next time you feel stressed stop, breathe, and repeat, “Right now, I am safe, I am alive, and I am well; the rest is out of my control.”
