As we all cope with the new reality of social distancing and quarantine in the COVID-19 era, it's important that we develop routines that promote our mental as well as our physical health, according to Sophie R. Kaufman, DPS, MBA of Pace University's College of Health Professions.
Kaufman, who is teaching a course on Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction at Pace, said stress and anxiety can drag down our immune system, making us more vulnerable to illness.
"Staying mentally fit is just as important as staying physically healthy,'' said Kaufman. "A large part of managing stress involves being in touch with our feelings and regulating our emotions.''
