Tips for Looking After Your Wellbeing During Lockdown

By Cecilia Broker Services

Lockdowns — whether due to health crises or unforeseen emergencies — can challenge even the strongest minds. Isolation, uncertainty, and disruption to daily life can take a toll on your physical and mental health. At Cecilia Broker Services, we care about your wellbeing, not just your insurance needs. Here are practical tips to help you stay balanced, calm, and healthy during lockdown periods.

1. Create a Routine — and Stick to It

Structure brings stability. Wake up, eat, work, and sleep at consistent times. Include time for exercise, breaks, and relaxation. A predictable routine helps reduce anxiety and gives a sense of control over the day.

2. Stay Physically Active

Movement is medicine. Whether it’s a 20-minute home workout, stretching, yoga, or dancing to your favorite music, staying active boosts mood and immunity.

Tip: There are countless free fitness apps and YouTube videos that require no equipment.

3. Stay Connected — Virtually

Social distancing doesn’t mean emotional distancing. Schedule regular video calls or phone chats with friends and family. Sharing your thoughts and hearing others helps reduce feelings of loneliness.

4. Eat Well and Hydrate

What you eat impacts how you feel. Opt for fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein. Stay hydrated throughout the day to support mental clarity and energy.

5. Limit News Consumption

It’s important to stay informed — but constant exposure to negative headlines can increase stress. Check updates from reliable sources only once or twice a day, and avoid scrolling through news before bed.

6. Practice Mindfulness or Meditation

Breathing exercises, guided meditation apps, or even a quiet cup of tea can help you feel grounded. Just 5–10 minutes of mindfulness each day can reduce stress and boost emotional resilience.

7. Focus on What You Can Control

You may not control the world outside, but you can control your actions, reactions, and attitude. Focus on positive habits, small accomplishments, and self-kindness.

8. Seek Help When Needed

It’s okay to ask for support. Whether it’s speaking to a counselor, coach, or a trusted friend, reaching out is a strength — not a weakness.
