Top 6 Ways to Manage Anxiety About the War in Israel

Are you having anxiety about the War in Israel? I don't even personally know anyone in Israel, but as a Jewish woman in the U.S., I am horrified by the savage murders of innocent people and frightened (like many others). 

Here are 6 ways I've been able to manage my anxiety:

1. Community Support: Attend morning Zoom synagogue services. Praying with like-minded people makes me feel better because I'm not alone. 
2. Monitor News Intake: Spend less time watching the news. I also limit my scrolling time on social media because there are explicit disturbing images 
3. Increase Fun Activities: If you enjoy cooking or baking, you can make comfort foods like Noodles & Cottage Cheese or Chicken Soup. Take a walk in nature. Create something with your hands. Spend more time with your children and/or furry children. 
4. Self Care: Get enough sleep. Eat comfort foods. Relax in a hot bath. Do yoga or workout.
5. Donate money to Jewish or Israeli organizations. I'm donating a small portion of profits to Magen David Adom. 
6. Take pride in being Jewish. 

I hope you can use this as an outline to brighten your spark.
