Optimism and positivity

Good things

Notice all the good things that you and others are doing. Notice how communities are working together, that there is a sense of shared purpose and connectedness.

Think of three positive things that have happened in your day.

Limit your exposure to negative social media and news footage and do something else instead.

Make the most of time at home – reconnect with pleasurable activities and hobbies, such as reading, a jigsaw puzzle, sketching, a board game, listening to music, gardening, watching a comedy show, playing a musical instrument, baking, cooking, phoning a friend, a crossword puzzle, learning something new, etc.

Remember – it is normal during times of stress and uncertainty to feel anxious and worried. If you are feeling worried or anxious speak to someone.
