Ways to Relax

Exercise is good for your mind and your

body! Dance at home, walk or run and find

exercise videos on YouTube.

Wash your hands – Sing the ABC’s while you wash

your hands.

Get plenty of rest – going to bed and waking up

at the same time each day keeps you on a good

sleep routine. Don’t sleep too much or too little.

Get outside – Go for a walk, bike ride,

or play in your back yard.

What makes you laugh? Do things that

make you feel good. Enjoy watching a

movie, read a book, listen to music, have

a bath, or talk to friends and family. Find

things to do that will make you happy each

day.

Its okay to feel sad, angry, worried, or scared. Try

talking to someone you trust or write your feelings

down. Cry or laugh whenever you need to, you may

feel a range of different emotions during this time.

Practice random acts of kindness! Call someone,

help out at home, smile, or find a way to help

support your community.

Find a box and fill it with things that ground you and make you feel calm. When

worry comes along, look in your box for ideas to help.

Colour Breathing

Sit or lie comfortably and close your eyes. Imagine a colour that feels good to you.

i.e. the warm yellow of the sun or the blue of the sky. As you breathe in, imagine

this colour slowly spreading through your entire body. Notice how this makes you

feel. Now, imagine the colour of your worry and as you breathe out, slowly let this

color leave your body.

Tummy Breathing

Sit or lie comfortably and close your eyes. Place one hand on your tummy. As you

slowly breathe in through your nose, feel your tummy expand like a balloon,

breathe slowly out your mouth.

Thoughts

At difficult times our brains can feel full of worrisome thoughts. “I’ll never get

through this” “What if I or someone I love gets sick?” These are all normal. Try

writing or drawing your thoughts or feelings to clear your mind.

Write your

worries in

the

balloons

and

imagine

letting

them go

Plant some seeds and

watch them grow Plant some seeds or look at

flowers in the garden and

watch them grow.

Notice how they change

everyday. Sometimes the

change is so small you can’t

even see it, but it is always

there.

Just like seeds growing this

difficult situation will

change, nothing stays the

same for forever.
