Tips For Managing COVID-19 Stress

TIPS ON LOOKING AFTER YOURSELF

This may be an especially stressful time, and the isolation and boredom can exacerbate feelings of anxiety and depression. It is important to take care of your mental health while we weather this storm. Follow these tips on how to de-stress.

 

Take a break from the news

Seek information updates at specific times during the day once or twice. The sudden and near-constant stream of news reports about an outbreak can cause anyone to feel worried.

 

Care for your body

Exercise, eat balanced meals, meditate and take deep breaths. Stay healthy while staying safe.

Make time to unwind

Carve out at least a few minutes of your day to do something you enjoy.

Connect with others

Reach out to your loved ones through digital methods.
