 SOME EXPLANATIONS ON HOW TO BE
MENTALLY STRONG

 Pause, Breathe, Reflect.

  Take some slow breaths: in through your
nose, then slowly breathe out. Slow breathing is
one of the best ways to lower stress, because it
signals to your brain to relax your body. Notice
how you are feeling and what you are thinking,
without judgment. Instead of responding or
reacting to those thoughts or feelings, note them,
and then let them go.
 

 Connect with others

 Talking to people you trust can help. Keep in regular
contact with people close to you. Tell them how you are
feeling and share any concerns.

 Keep to a healthy routine

  Get up and go to bed at similar times every day.
  Keep up with personal hygiene.
  Eat healthy meals at regular times.
  Exercise regularly. Just doing 3-4 minutes of light intensity
physical movement, such as walking or stretching, will help.
  Allocate time for working and time for resting.
  Make time for doing things you enjoy.
 Take regular breaks from on-screen activities.
 Be kind to yourself and others
  Don’t expect too much of yourself on difficult days.
Accept that some days you may be more productive than
others.

 Reach out for help if you need it

  Don’t hesitate to seek professional help if you think you
need it. A good place to start is your local health worker.
Help-lines can also be a source of support.
