get.calm and move.on – tackling worries and finding strength for the crisis (COVID-19) in 10 steps

The Corona crisis is characterized by the concern about getting infected with the virus, the concern about the health of the people close to us and many unanswered questions about how everything will develop in the near future. Perhaps the job and the financial situation have become uncertain. All this can cause worry and anxiety. Worries can sometimes become so intense that people feel paralyzed and lose courage to take the next step. If the worries are getting too strong, then it is important to calm down a bit. If the problems seem too big, then it can be important to gain confidence for the next step. With this in mind, an online training programme has been developed to help you cope with worries: get.calm and move.on - tackle worries in 10 steps and gain strength for the corona crisis. Every day a training unit is available in which one aspect of worries is taken into account. The training can be completed in 10 days. The contents of the training refer to reflecting on what is really important to you, to consciously address some worries and to be able to distance yourself from others, to tackle some problems step by step and to learn from others to accept and endure them. It is also explained that it is important to be able to perceive and appreciate even small pleasant experiences, to use relaxation exercises, to ensure a good night's sleep and to structure the day well. The study serves to check the effectiveness of the training.
