How to Cope with Common Pandemic Changes in a Healthy Way

Change can be so complex. On one hand, we crave change when our routines have gotten stale. On the other, we tend to get anxious when change is sudden or unexpected. All of the mixed feelings we have about change are some of what makes dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic so overwhelming.

Have you developed a drinking problem during the pandemic?

Think back to before the pandemic, did you drink as much as now? There is a good chance that you did not. Drinking around the world during this pandemic has increased dramatically.

Behavior Changes That Help You Manage Weight Loss

Setting the right goals is an important first step. Most people trying to lose weight focus just on weight loss. However, you’ll be more successful if you focus on nutritional and exercise changes that lead to long-term weight change. Successful weight managers select no more than two or three goals at a time.

Effective goals are Specific and Attainable. “Exercise more” is a commendable ideal, but it’s not specific. “Walk five miles every day” is specific and measurable, but is it attainable if you’re just starting out? “Walk 30 minutes every day” is more attainable, but what happens if you’re held up at work or there’s a thunderstorm? “Walk 30 minutes, five days each week” is specific, attainable, and forgiving. In short, a great goal!
