Stress reduction
On this page are several suggestions to address stress reduction. By no means is this everything.
Our first course of action should be our Doctor and other professionals and groups that have traditionally assisted those that have stress anxiety and the like. They should still be our first course of action.
However understanding why we experience stress and trying out methods that reduce stress and are free of charge is often helpful.
Just being in community as we have already discussed is enormously helpful and restores our sense of safety and reduces stress.
The Blackdog institute has helpful suggestions and downloadable self-care plans specifically for covid and lockdown.
