Keeping Healthy

At these times of high stress, it is really important to look after ourselves so as to maintain not just a healthy body but a healthy headspace.

Beyond Blue recognises and understands the feelings of anxiety, distress and concern many people may be experiencing in relation to the coronavirus (COVID-19) and offers the following wellbeing advice:

• Try to maintain perspective
• Find a healthy balance in relation to media coverage
• Access good quality information
• Try to maintain a practical and calm approach
• Try not to make assumptions
• Seek support

Consider making a ‘stay well’ plan to help you identify what your personal triggers are and the strategies that help you cope best, based on your own experiences. Things to consider include: 

• Eating well
• Keeping active
• Reducing alcohol and other drugs
• Sleeping well
