Now, I know there are so many things going on in Delhi but we need to start looking beyond the stress and chaos. I sat myself down and talked to myself about the panic in my head related to the Coronavirus. There is endless fear and anxiety and I just wanted to deal with it. Now, you need to pause the movement of all members of your household. Call the help and give them a paid leave for an indefinite period. Trust me, you need it more than them. It’s not just about the help- pause your couriers, your orders, everything external. If it is absolutely essential for something to come from outside, hold it with a tissue, and run a tissue soaked in sanitiser around it. Afterwards, wash your hands.

Even if you are exchanging money or bills with people from outside like your mil vendor or your grocery store boy, wash your hands. We have zero idea of the germs that money carries. Taking such small precautions will really help. Practice complete social distancing. Reason with yourself like this and you are bound to feel calmer.

However, if you do not feel calm still, bake these delicious oat cookies because we all know how therapeutic baking is! And if you do end up baking these cookies, please tag me on Instagram!
