10 Best Anxiety Tools for Pandemics, Learn useful tools and essential techniques from cognitive therapies, positive psychology, and faith-based systems.

Recently, the world was thrown into a panic mode all thanks to the emergence of COVID 19- a viral disease that has caused so much turmoil not only health-wise but also in other aspects of life. A new normal, a quite paradoxical one, came into the picture: staying away from loved ones for safety, keeping our children out of school to secure their future, among other measures. This strange disease seemed to strike overnight, and before the world could establish some plans to mitigate its effects, there had already been massive destruction. However, how proper these “proper mitigation plans” are, remains a bone of contention because in a way some of them seem to amplify the effects of the virus, what with the quarantine, colossal loss of jobs, impromptu closing of schools, etc. All these adjustments have had a huge impact on people’s health, not only physically but also emotionally and mentally.

As the world continues to further its understanding of the novel coronavirus and putting some safety measures into place, the tide has somehow fallen to some degree, and little semblance of normalcy has returned. Now, with each new sunrise, we are all awaiting some signal that it is all over-the nightmare is gone and our lives can revert to factory settings but between the signal and the reality there is some vacuum for us to make peace with the new normal. As a result of this, we all have persistent questions in our minds. Will the end ever come? When will that be? What will it look like? Suppose it doesn’t even come?

This workshop guide seeks to provide tools for alleviating the emotional and mental pangs of COVID 19, which in turn plays a great role in ministering to the physical aspect.
