Although we’re all social distancing physically, as humans we need to stay connected emotionally. Try one or two of these out every day.

 

  • Call or Facetime a friend or relative you haven’t spoken to in a while to check in.
  • Write a letter.
  • Make time to unwind- Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories, including social media. Hearing about the pandemic constantly can be upsetting.
  • Support a local restaurant– Many restaurants are still open for take out or delivery orders.
  • Take care of your body. Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate. Eat healthy, well-balanced meals, exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep.
  • Connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling.
  • Overcoming Obstacles – Life skills curriculum for students in grades K-12. Their resources include strategies for teaching social and emotional skills
