Take care of yourself !
Apply some basic rules that will help you minimize feelings of stress or anxiety in your daily life.
- Stay tuned, pay attention to your feelings, emotions and reactions.
- Give yourself permission to express your feelings to someone you trust, through writing, physical activity or otherwise. Keep in regular contact with your loved ones. Let them know how you are feeling and let them know about your concerns.
