Consider limiting your consumption of news to just a couple of times a day and taking breaks from phone, TV, and computer screens. Even though we are at home, try sticking to your regular sleep, meal, and school or work schedule.

Take time out for activities you enjoy. Read a good book, watch a comedy, play a fun board or video game, make something new.

Be kind to yourself and take care of your body and spirit. Go easy on yourself if you’re experiencing anxiety.

Avoid self-medicating. Try not to use alcohol or other substances.

Take up relaxation exercises such as deep breathing, meditation, and yoga.
