Things are finally starting to get back to normal. That's great news! But you might be a little worried about it. You're not alone. If you’re anxious or worried about returning to pre-pandemic activities, here are some of the things you can do:

1. Continue wearing a face mask in public areas.

2. Continue practicing social distancing.

3. Sanitize or wash your hands frequently.

4. Meditate to slow down and clear your mind.

5. Try breathing exercises to release physical tension and drop your heart rate.

6. Eat a healthy, balanced diet to help keep your blood sugar level normal.

7. Stay hydrated by drinking at least eight glasses of water a day.

8. Exercise to sweat the worry out.

9. Do something you love (i.e. painting, singing, etc.) to distract yourself.

10. Talk with a doctor to understand if you need medication or counselling.
