Think about your diet. Your appetite may change if your routine does. Eating regularly can keep your blood sugars stable and help your mood and energy levels. Try your best to stick to a balanced diet. You should also drink water regularly, it's important for both your mental and physical health. 

Why not use your time to learn something new? Whether that's a skill, language or magic trick. There are loads of free online resources to support this. LinkedIn Learning has a one month free for all their courses. 

Do that thing you always meant to do, but never got round to last lockdown. Maybe it’s a DIY project (most of the big DIY stores offer delivery). Maybe you want to learn a new language or take up a new hobby. Watch that box set you always wanted to, or read those books you never had time to. Now is the time.

Has your phone told you that your screen time has increased yet? Consider turning your phone off for an hour or so each day for a digital detox and to avoid feeling overwhelmed! 

Meditation is a great way to look after the health of your mind.  Meditation isn’t about becoming a different person, a new person, or even a better person. It’s about training in awareness and getting a healthy sense of perspective.  

Make sure you are keeping in touch with the outside world through phone calls, emails or social media. Don’t worry alone. Talking to others helps keep a perspective on current events. So, speak to family, friends and colleagues, and don’t let worry fester into anxiety.
