Tips for helping you cope with Covid 19
Keep in touch
Keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues
Use any methods available to you, and with what you're comfortable with:
- Phone
- Online - Teams / Zoom - choose if you want the camera on/ off - your choice
- Writing - email / letters
Journal
Your thoughts and feelings are important - they are what make you, you.
- Write down what you're thinking / feeling.
You never know, one day, you might want to turn them into a book!
Learn a skill
There are lots of courses available online - why not try a new skill or develop some of the skills you already have.
- Are you a budding artists
- Have you always wanted to look into your family history?
Reconnect with old friends
Have you lost contact with old friends, why not use the opportunity to reconnect - check in and see how they are doing.
Be kind to yourself
Make time for something you enjoy. For example:
- Having a bath / shower
- Watching a favourite movie
- Reading a book
Play games
Connect with your family and friends and play games. Games can be played round a table, or online with friends if you live alone.
Have a meal
Use the opportunity to sit down as a family for meals, if possible, connect with another person, who is on their own and have a meal over Teams/Zoom with them.
Make new friends
Join social groups with like-minded people where you can make new friends
Be thankful
At the end of the day, look back and see the things you can be thankful for.
