Coronavirus (COVID-19) quarantine getting to you? Amandeep Chowdhary, a leadership coach, business development consultant, meditation teacher for children and a mother, says the sooner we shift our mindset from crisis to the new normal, the faster we are able to adapt and thrive to our potential. Here are six simple ways to reconnect, recharge and re-imagine your mental state during quarantine:

1. Have a shift in mindset – from resisting to adapting.
2. Create some structure around your day (weekdays and weekends) and leave enough room for fluidity.
3. Make and keep connections. Spend some time daily to connect with family and friends. Your connections will give you strength.
   
4. Be grateful. Contemplate on things you are grateful for every day. It is a nutrition for your soul for emotional strength and energy.
5. Educate yourself, be aware of important updates and safety protocols. Read and watch news headlines, but don’t over indulge.
6. Try a new activity that channels your creativity. You may just surprise yourself.
