Billion from the we're spending a lot more time at home which can increase the anxiety associated with the coronavirus.

???t news three's?

Kaleb gillock?

Joins us with some ways to cope.

Guys?

I don't know about you... but i have definitely been a little more irritable during this time because i'm a creature of habit and my routine is nowhere near its norm.

But i talked with a doctor and a local about how to deal with the anxiety around this pandemic.xxx when a situation like covi?19 comes up, it can cause multiple sources of stress.

There are fears associated with the illness itself, there's the emotional reactions related to the necessary changes we've all had to make.

Those changes can spark frustration?

Irritation and anxiety.

Doctor brent seaton says while that's normal, there are ways we can reduce the impact such as eating a balanced diet?

Exercising?

And getting enough sleep.

I spoke with a rochester resident who is a firm believer in such habits.

Absolutely, no yeah i think just taking care in every way you have able which not everyone has access to all of those thing but whatever you have access to?

Good sleep, good food, good exercise, good social connections, i think that's super important right now more than any other time.

Doctor seaton also suggest filling the void left by a loss of social interaction.

It's easy.

We live in the digital age!

Graeme campbell says he's still hanging out with friends and family.

A lot of facetime calls, lots of phone calls.

There's a couple of apps... house party i think where you can like facetime and play games and trivia and that sort of thing with people you know just connecting with people in the ways we can even though it's not normal it's better than personally for me?

I've noticed that just getting outside for a bike ride or taking the dogs on a longer walk than normal has been a good reset?

Guys./// thank you?

Kaleb.
