1. Only listen to or read the news once a day, preferably in the middle of the day - not first thing in the morning, or just before you go to bed.
2. Do things you love, such as reading a book, doing some crafting or art, or baking a delicious treat.
3. Plan to go outdoors for some gentle exercise or quiet time to soothe your mind, release endorphins, and appreciate the beauty of nature.
4. Resist their urge to isolate yourself. If you are feeling particularly anxious or scared, call a family member, friend, or even a mental health organisation.
5. Write down how you are feeling, as it can help to get your thoughts out of your head and onto paper.
7. Laugh, smile, and find happiness in your own world.
