- Take care of your mind and find ways to reduce stress triggers. You can do these: Keep regular routines (when it comes to bedtime, daily chores, exercise, work, and other stuff important to you); limit exposure to news; keep yourself busy with stuff that matters and makes you happy; focus on positivity; set priorities and realistic goals.
- Build and keep connections strong and open. Support others or get support in return. Start with your family and friends and then extend to your community, if possible and necessary.
