9 ways to deal with all these problems and improve your mental health-

Stay Active as much as possible

Learn something from housewives how to stay active even staying all the time at home. Do some household activities if are running out of office work.
Make a routine

It is essential for everyone in the family. Kids also dealing with “no activity to do time” so they are also stressed. So it’s better to make a routine for everyone. Try some activities for your kids while working at home. Fix your office hours for less stress.
Do some yoga/exercise/dance

Good blood circulation is always better for mental health. So try some yoga or breathing exercises inside the home wherever you find most oxygen.
Solve some puzzles

You can opt for SUDOKU which I prefer, or can go for online games. I suggest it’s better to reduce your screen time. Take a print of the puzzle or copy it on paper then solve it. Believe me, you will be having more fun doing this on paper.
Reduce caffeine intake

Coffee helps you to boost your mood in a few seconds, but high intake can cause anxiety. There are hundreds of reports available where you can search for the authenticity of this sentence.
Talk to your loved ones

Keep your phone aside and talk to your family members. You have lived with them for so many years, no one else can understand you better than them. So share with them what you feel in this situation? What you are fearing about?
Watch comedy shows

“Laughter is the best medicine” everyone knows this. So try some comedy shows or clips online to lighten up your stress.
Stay away from fake news and social media as much as possible.

I am not saying don’t watch news, because it is essential to be informed about the current situation. Sometimes watching the same sad news again and again create sadness. So avoid watching news and social media for a very small duration.
You have to think positive

If you start thinking why you are doing this you will come up with several reasons. So think of your safety, which is anyway related to the safety of your family as well. These thoughts will encourage you towards positive thinking.
