Tips to manage stress

The Public Safety Peer Support Team in Westbrook offers some tips to help everyone manage stress and anxiety during the coronavirus pandemic:

• Exercise.
• Get some fresh air when you can.
• Try meditation or yoga. YouTube and Google can be your instructors right now.
• Don’t let healthy eating habits go by the wayside. Avoid excessive snacking. There is such a thing as too much pizza and chocolate.
•  Lay off the bad substances.  Excessive alcohol, tobacco and coffee can increase anxiety and just aren’t good for you anyway.
• 7-9 hours of sleep is ideal, but there is such a thing as too much sleep.
• Limit the amount of TV news you watch and your time on social media. The amount of negativity
  will make your head spin.
