Simran Sethi On How To Manage Your Anxiety During The Coronavirus Crisis
This is a time of tremendous uncertainty and anxiety. To help navigate these difficult days, I talk to journalist and educator Simran Sethi, who wrote a great piece in The New York Times called, “10 Ways to Ease Your Coronavirus Anxiety,” Simran says she wrote the story she wanted to read, and I’m so happy she did. Some of the important topics we discuss include putting the pandemic in perspective, refraining from playing the shame and blame game, helping others, and understanding how valuable what you do as a writer is in times of crisis.
Simran has had quite a career—from working as a news anchor for MTV Asia to lecturing on five continents on topics ranging from the loss of agrobiodiversity to sustainability in fashion and sports. Named one of the “50 Most Influential Global Indians” by Vogue India and the “environmental messenger” by Vanity Fair, Simran has written for outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, National Geographic, The Washington Post, Guernica and The Guardian.
Her book Bread, Wine, Chocolate: The Slow Loss of Foods We Love, which was named one of the best food books of 2016 by Smithsonian.
This interview really hit home for me. Hope you enjoy.
