Things you can do to support yourself:
- Take breaks from reading, watching, or listening to news stories, including social media. Hearing about the pandemic repeatedly can be upsetting.
- Take care of your body. Take walks, deep breaths, or meditate. Try to eat healthy well balanced meals, excercise regularly, get plenty of sleep and avoid drugs and alcohol.
- Take time to unwind and do activites you enjoy.
- Connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling.
