GREAT: Helpful practices to manage stress and anxiety.
✅Gratitude. Be grateful. Find small things each day to be grateful about. This might be when you wake up in the morning or in the evening before bed. What are the small things throughout the day that you can express gratitude for?
✅Relaxation. Practice relaxation. Do things that help you to calm down and relax.
✅Exercise. Engage in exercise. We know that physical health and mental health are tied together.
✅Acknowledge feelings. Be aware of the many feelings you have, and accept them as they occur. Right now, things are very frustrating. You may be feeling angry at some of the things that we're seeing on the news. We might feel anxious about our health and our family's health. Whatever feelings that you are experiencing, know that it's okay. Accept them, acknowledge them, and then make sure that you use one of these practices to help manage them.
✅Track thoughts. Track your thoughts and change them. Ensure that you are engaging in helpful thinking. We all have thoughts that, oftentimes, aren't the most helpful. So if you pay attention to your thinking patterns, you can then engage in more helpful thinking.

Be GREAT❗️
