The rhythm to your life may have changed but see it as an opportunity to create daily routines that prioritise looking after yourself.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4cb9\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">You may have more time to dedicate to hobbies, to exercise, to cooking, to relaxing, and to catching up with family and friends. They are unusual times we live in but try to seek out the opportunities you are presented with.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"cade\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--h3-strong\">Manage How You Follow the Pandemic in the&nbsp;Media<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"00c5\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">It is important to avoid speculation and to find reputable news sources on the virus. Trustworthy information can help you feel more in control and lessen anxiety levels.<\/p>\n<p id=\"67b3\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">News coverage is 24\/7. If you find that the extensive news broadcasts are causing you stress it is important to address this and find a balance. Don\u2019t completely avoid the news, just keep abreast so that you are informed and educated.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"59d3\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--h3-strong\">Make a Personal Financial Plan<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"3d08\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">Trying to stay in a stable financial position is incredibly important to our mental health and wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2f96\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Plan your finances and ensure that you are receiving any benefits you are entitled to. You can do this <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.citizensadvice.org.uk\/benefits\/coronavirus-check-what-benefits-you-can-get\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.citizensadvice.org.uk\/benefits\/coronavirus-check-what-benefits-you-can-get\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"b4b2\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">A budget tool (<a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fca.org.uk\/consumers\/dealing-financial-difficulties-coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.fca.org.uk\/consumers\/dealing-financial-difficulties-coronavirus\">like this one<\/a>) could also be useful. Remember that you may be saving money by not spending out on things like transport and socialising.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"bfe8\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--h3-strong\">Stay Connected<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"700a\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">At times of stress, we work better in company and with support. Try and keep in touch with your friends and family by telephone, email, social media, or contact a helpline (such as this <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mind.org.uk\/information-support\/guides-to-support-and-services\/crisis-services\/helplines-listening-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.mind.org.uk\/information-support\/guides-to-support-and-services\/crisis-services\/helplines-listening-services\/\">one<\/a>) for emotional support.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ae83\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Regularly assess your social media activity. Although social media is a great way to stay connected, it can also become a source of worry and anxiety. Consider muting or unfollowing accounts or hashtags that cause you to feel anxious.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"0ca9\" class=\"graf graf--h3 graf-after--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--h3-strong\">Anticipate Distress<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"c634\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--h3\">It is natural to feel vulnerable and overwhelmed in this period, especially if you have experienced trauma or a mental health problem in the past, if you are shielding, or are more at risk to the effects of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1d54\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">It is important to acknowledge these feelings and remind each other to look after our physical and mental health. Reassure those around you and check in on your nearest and dearest, as well as those who are most vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p id=\"f2fc\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Keep well and keep safe.<\/p>\n<p id=\"f64e\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p graf--trailing\">The <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/hotpatch.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"http:\/\/hotpatch.com\">HotPatch <\/a>team.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3994\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\"><em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Reach out to us <\/em><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"http:\/\/hotpatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-href=\"http:\/\/hotpatch.com\/\"><em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">online<\/em><\/a><em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\"> or on our social media channels:<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"7cdc\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Instagram: <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hotpatch_\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hotpatch_\/?hl=en\">@HotPatch_<\/a> | Twitter: <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hotpatch_?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hotpatch_?lang=en\">@HotPatch_<\/a> | Linkedin: <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/54278300\/admin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/54278300\/admin\/\">HotPatch<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking After Your Mental Health During&nbsp;Lockdown There are many things we can do to support and manage our mental health and wellbeing during these uncertain times.
