Feeling stressed, worried, and anxious are natural human responses when we are faced with possible threats or uncertainty. Along with the pressures of adjusting to a new reality, all these added up can take a toll on our mental health. There are simple and healthy ways to cope during this pandemic. Here are some activities that you may try to incorporate into your routine:
-
Take time to connect with family and friends who you can’t be with at this time
