Summary

Coronavirus anxiety? Struggling with the new reality of "Corona Life?" You're not alone. I recently polled some of my tribe on Instagram to see how they were doing mentally and emotionally during the Coronavirus crisis we are all experiencing together.

In efforts to help you manage Coronavirus anxiety and cultivate emotional resilience, I am devoting this episode of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast to addressing your questions about coping with "Coronavirus Life" in order to provide new ideas and direction.

Specifically:

"I am freaking out about Coronavirus. How do I stop worrying about getting sick? Or being worried that people I love will get Coronavirus?"
"I'm having anxiety about separation during the Coronavirus quarantine, and I am so sad about being cut off from everyone. What do I do?"
"What are some of the best self-care strategies for dealing with Coronavirus stress?"
"Being cooped up at home with my spouse is taking a toll on my relationship. How do we handle the stress of this situation without damaging our relationship?"
"I'm so worried about my financial future thanks to Coronavirus. What do I do?"
"Coronavirus has destroyed my life. I can't deal with the uncertainty of not knowing what is happening."

I'm answering these listener questions and sharing some special, free resources for my listeners (You!!) on this episode. I hope this discussion and the resources I'm sharing helps you find new coping skills, and practices that help build a firm foundation of emotional resilience inside yourself right now.

Wishing you all the best,

Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby

0:50.1	emotionally I've been hearing from people that their relationships are struggling due to this
0:56.0	new reality. And this is just a really challenging time. And so I did kind of an emergency
1:04.4	podcast that I released on Friday, just with some stopgap ideas. But since then, I have had, again, a number of people
1:15.1	reach out. We did a fun Instagram live thing earlier today that I had actually intended to
1:23.1	record and use that as a podcast. And it did not. There were so many unforeseen things because I personally
1:32.3	am dealing with coronavirus life just like everybody else is. My son is out of school. And instead of
1:39.7	spending the morning prepping for my Instagram live event the way I usually would have. I was printing
1:45.5	out little PDFs and worksheets that my son could sit at the table and do because he's not going
1:50.4	to school. So it's impacting me too. And we're going to talk about it today about how to manage the stress, the new situations that we are all collectively having to figure out how to deal with.
2:09.3	We're talking about coronavirus anxiety and how to stop worrying.

2:26.9	So, you know, in addition to talking about how to just get a handle on the worry mentally,
2:33.0	also to talk about maintaining connections during this time, self-care strategies for dealing
