Take time out

Stress-busting relaxation: Stop what you are doing, look out of the window, let your shoulders drop, stretch – allow your mind to calm down.
Deep Breaths: think of a lovely place you have been to, keep taking deep breaths, and take time to relax in this place.

Do something you enjoy:

  • Be active: still go outdoors every day to get some fresh air
  • Go for a walk, run, cycle or do exercises at home that work for you
  • Be creative: do drawing, painting, doodles, make masks, and birthday cards, upcycle an old t-shirt or jacket
  • Learn a new craft or activity
  • Listen to music: something that is calming & makes you feel good
  • Watch films, read a book or listen to audio books (App – Audible), magazine
  • Take photos and make a collage out of the new and old ones
  • Keep a journal, diary or blog
