As the coronavirus spreads, more and more people are becoming anxious about what it means in their life. After all, entire cities have been quarantined in China. Travel restrictions have been put in place throughout the world. It’s perfectly normal to feel anxiety about this emerging health crisis. The coronavirus can be a deadly disease, but we also know that it’s most likely to be deadly in people who already have a weakened immune system. Here’s how to cope with the anxiety and fear surrounding the coronavirus outbreak. 1. Don’t Inflate the Risk Our brains are used to taking something that is made to sound scary and unknown, and inflating the risk of it actually happening to us. It’s a part of our brain’s intrinsic, built-in fight-or-flight response. Big and scary gets attention. Ordinary but also potentially bad for our well-being gets less attention. We’re scared of getting mauled by a coyote, but think nothing of getting into an automobile and driving every day. This despite...

The language you use can have a profound impact on your self-image, how you show up in the world, and how you live your life.

Making the conscious choice to eliminate disempowering words from your vocabulary can be transformative. The language you choose can be limiting. You can change your beliefs by being mindful of how you talk. People ofte...

Three months. That’s as long as Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, is willing to wait to get a vaccine candidate against the latest coronavirus that he can start testing in people. Since the virus was identified for the first time in people who fell ill with pneumonia-like symptoms in Wuhan, China , last December, the World Health Organization has declared this coronavirus outbreak , named 2019n-CoV, a public health emergency of international concern. In just over a month, more 11,000 people have tested positive for the virus in 18 countries , and more than 250 have died. When it comes to infectious diseases like this one, vaccines are the strongest weapons that health officials have.

The problem is, vaccine...
