Relaxing and Being Creative
COVID-19 is impacting on all our lives and the usual ways we might relax may no longer be available, but we just have to think outside of the box.
Top Tips
Create a routine
Plan your day out, write it down and put it on the wall.
Build time in your day to relax
Taking breaks can promote productivity.
Find ways to comfort yourself when feeling anxious
Breathing exercises, mindfulness or even puzzles can help distract your mind in moments of anxiety.
Talk to your children
Children will also worry about the situation which can increase the household tension level. Explain what is going on using the facts, children appreciate honesty.
Keep connected
It is important to socialise during physical distancing. Utilise video calling to catch up with colleagues, hold a team quiz to just chat about how you are feeling.
