Remember that it is important to take care of yourself, so that you have the resources available to care for your loved ones. You can stay strong by setting and keeping a routine: getting up and going to bed at a regular time, dressing for the day and eating regular meals. Include activities that exercise your body and mind: now is the time to try to learn a new language, or sign up for an online course.
Stay physically active by walking, deep cleaning the house or working out with an exercise video. Practicing gratitude can remind you that life is joyful. Take time to reflect on what you are thankful for, and challenge yourself to notice something new each day. Attempt to limit things that trigger your worry: if you notice that watching the news or spending too much time on social media triggers your worry, limit your time.
