Be grateful (even if it's hard)

Sparks says to think of the things you do have, rather than the things you don't. "The sky may seem to be falling, but pause and remind yourself of all that you already have: A roof over your head, food on the table, community to connect with, nature to appreciate."

Exercise for your mental health

Shake your booty! Sparks suggests getting some endorphins going: Take a walk, do a guided yoga class online or dance to your favorite playlist by yourself or with your family.

Sad about cancelled plans?

Look at the bigger picture, says Sparks.

"So your summer vacation was cancelled. So what? Bigger picture is that you are healthy and can figure out something else to do.

"Hop in the car and take a road trip or have a staycation and put the blender to good use making magical margaritas. Even if it's your wedding that is now postponed for a year, what a story to tell your grandkids! And how much more special will the big day be when it finally happens? Again, it's going back to gratitude and being thankful you can afford a vacation in the first place," he says.

'Breathe deep and love yourself unconditionally'

Sparks says if he could only tell the world two things, it would be the above. "Of course, coaching is a great way to help with stress. Most clients are stressed because they are feeling stuck, worried about the future or hyper-focused on one issue in their life. In coaching we work on values, life purpose and setting goals to get clients in a flow in all aspects of life."
