Exercise

Keeping to a fitness routine right now is crucial for both mental and physical health, even if it doesn't look like your usual workout routine. "Releasing endorphins is an effective way to fight stress and anxiety and to give your mind a break from everything," said Finkel. Go for a walk or a run to get out of the house. (Check the local guidelines in your area to make sure this is safe.)

If you're staying inside, stream a workout online. Many online fitness platforms are offering free workouts right now; here's a comprehensive list to choose from. If streaming or getting outside aren't options, do a few bodyweight exercises just to get your body moving, then finish off your routine with stretching or meditation, Finkel said. (Try one of these at-home bodyweight workouts to get started.)
