Recovering from COVID-19 is going to be challenging, and leaving the hospital is the first step. But just because your physical symptoms are gone does not mean that you are back to your ‘normal’ self.
Experiencing a range of reactions/emotions such as anxiety, fear, and stress during this crisis are normal and stress management is critical. With proper management and self-care, you will continue to safeguard your mental health.

Join Jessica as she guides you through a simple mindfulness exercise that you can easily integrate into your daily life to find some calm. This exercise is a 360° virtual reality experience.

For the most immersive experience, this exercise can be used with VR headsets and Google Cardboard, ideally with over-the-ear headphones for best audio output.
Helping others can help you feel good. Research has indicated that “positive emotions enhance psychological and physical resilience” as it pertains to the “undoing of negative emotions."
