Stressed, anxious, worried or afraid?
Keeping Active
– Regular exercise can really help if you’re feeling depressed, stressed or anxious. It can give you more energy too. Find something you enjoy – sport, swimming, walking, dancing or cycling and then just do it.
Eating Well
– Having a balanced diet will not only help the way that you feel but also the way that you think. Try to eat regularly and remember your five daily portions of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Relaxing
– Try and make time for yourself. Fit things into your day that help you unwind – listening to music, reading, praying or meditating – find something you will enjoy and that works for you.
Talk about it & Ask for help
– Most people feel isolated and overwhelmed by their problems sometimes. Everyone needs help from time to time. It’s ok to ask for help, even though it feels difficult sometimes – whether it’s from friends and family, or from your doctor, local support group or a helpline.
Learning New Skills
– Learning a new skill can increase your confidence – whether it’s for pleasure, to make new friends or to improve your chances of a job. Trying new things can make you feel good about yourself too.
Surviving
– Try not to be too hard on yourself. We can all have difficult days from time to time and we all cope with things differently. There is no right or wrong way of dealing with life and what it may throw at you. Every day we cope with something different.
