Are you feeling stressed and anxious? Many of us have experienced such feelings, especially during the pandemic, but learning to cope with stress in a healthy way is extremely important for our individual health and the health of those around us. Here are some tips from the CDC on how to cope: ► Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to the news. Being informed is important, but it can quickly become overwhelming if you’re in media overload. ► Take care of your body. Meditate and take deep breaths, exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, get plenty of sleep, and avoid excess alcohol. ► Set aside time to unwind, relax, and do activities you enjoy. ► Stay connected with loved ones and talk with those you trust about your concerns and how you’re feeling. Managing stress well can improve your overall health and mental wellbeing. If you’re struggling with stress or other mental health-related issues, call your healthcare provider, they can help. #MentalHealthMonth #MHM
