Emotional Responses to the “New Normal”

-  If you are feeling greater anxiety and fear in this uncertain environment, this is normal. You are not alone.

-  While we can’t predict how long the “new normal” will last, we do know that it will end.

-  Focus on taking good care of yourself and your loved ones as your first priority.  Be gentle with yourself if you are not feeling as productive as you would like.

-  Activate your personal social network (virtually) to reduce any feelings of social isolation.

-  Do your best to stay calm and “in the present”.  BREATHE.

-  Identify what you CAN control in a time when many of us are feeling like we have no control

-  Consider financial contingency planning for the near-term “just in case”

-  Do your best to focus on what IS working vs. what isn’t working

-  We WILL get through this together, one day at a time
