It is indeed a frightening time for the whole of humanity with the on-going COVID-19 pandemic.

Advice on controlling anxiety during self-isolation:
Stop watching the news! What you know about the novel Corona Virus is enough. It is a dangerous disease and is contagious. Pay attention to the precautions conveyed by the government and practice self-isolation. Stay away from the new researches and fake tips that are going viral. Your mental health will remain sane.
One major change in your routine that you’ll continue when the quarantine is over:
I feel there hasn’t been a drastic change in my life. I always used to prefer staying home and even these days I am at home. I used to cook before as well and I am also cooking nowadays. I used to keep myself busy in gardening and plantation. So doing the same while at home.

Advice on controlling anxiety during self-isolation:
In regards to a clinical condition when it comes to mental health, get yourself checked by a doctor. However, to relieve yourself of anxiety in the COVID-19 crisis, recite Namaz and Surah Baqarah’s last ayahs- they are very beautiful. I listened to them today and often listen to them. Even, I was feeling very tensed and then I listened to those ayahs.
Regardless of whatever religion you belong to, get close to your religion. This time is to learn and be optimistic. Don’t let the devil pollute your mind with negative thoughts. Indulge your heart in productive activities. Clean the house, give time to your husband and children, and cook for your family. Work with passion!
I have also learned the importance of maintaining hygiene in these times. Spread love and control your anger for being in self-isolation can trigger irritation and cause fights.
One major change in your routine that you’ll continue when the quarantine is over:
I have gone through an immense change in my routine. Earlier, I use to wake up and check what my children are eating. I used to make breakfast for them.
But now, I have gotten into a habit of checking on the status of ration given to families and ensure their children are not empty-stomach. I maintain the number of ration bags, how much has been donated and how many families are still left to be sent ration.
This is a huge change in my lifestyle. First, I used to care for my own family and now I am also concerned for so many more.

The best thing is to get a check on your inner self and try to connect with Allah. Offer prayers and read the best book of the universe, the Quran. Don’t just recite in Arabic, read and try to understand with translation as well. I will try to continue it more frequently Inshaa Allah.
Zarnish Khan

Advice on controlling anxiety during self-isolation:
I believe there are solutions to almost all our problems, only if we quit being lazy. For me maintaining a balanced routine and adopting a healthy lifestyle has a massive impact on our mental health and it can help us battle anxiety and depression in less than a week. Eat healthy food, get proper sleep at night, wake up on time, keep yourself active and also find yourself a productive hobby. It does wonders.
One major change in your routine that you’ll continue when the quarantine is over:
I try to stay away from all the gadgets and spend all that time either with the family or myself. Things like oiling, skincare routine, that I never bothered doing before have finally become a part of my life and hopefully, I’ll continue doing it.

Advice on controlling anxiety during self-isolation:
We must learn the art of patience in this quarantine time. We need to have a firm belief in our God that this is just a little ordeal for us and soon things will be better because, after every night, we do see a bright morning sun as well. I believe in signs and omens.
I think Allah has put us in this situation so that we can strengthen our bonds with our family members. Stay indoors and sharpen our skills. I have always spoken very openly about my mental health struggles.
One major change in your routine that you’ll continue when the quarantine is over:
As I can’t go to my home town Islamabad so I do get a bit anxious but I am working on it. I am praying 5 times a day, reciting the Holy Quran and its working wonders for me. I go for walks on my roof. I am doing yoga too. So I would suggest others to do the same too.
The major change that I have witnessed in my routine is that I have become very punctual in my 5 times prayers and recitation of the Holy Quran. I have always been a very spiritual person but since I am in quarantine, I feel I have become the closest with my Allah. What more one could have asked for? All my life I have been taught to find positive out of any situation. So I talked on my Instagram that this isn’t so bad maybe Allah wanted us to sit back and reflect on what we have done so far.

Advice on controlling anxiety during self-isolation:
Mental health cannot be overlooked during this period. We must keep ourselves busy in some way or the other. Engage ourselves with things that we love doing but never had the time to.
We can do creative things like painting or sketching, we can focus on health more by working out at home, and there are several workout videos available on YouTube, cook healthy meals. Prayer and meditation are also very helpful, it eases our mind, body, and soul. Anxiety and depression can be dealt with this way.
One major change in your routine that you’ll continue when the quarantine is over:
I like starting my day with counting my blessings and journaling them down followed by a high-intensity workout and some weight training. I can see positive changes in myself and I would make this a part of my daily routine after this quarantine.
