The COVID-19 pandemic has changed life for all of us. As things start to open up again, feelings of worry, loneliness and uncertainty are natural, and shared by everyone to differing degrees.
A new Clear Your Head campaign has launched to help people across Scotland cope as life gets busier again, providing a range of practical and simple hints and tips to help those feeling overwhelmed or nervous as they start to go out more.
Connecting with people before you meet up in person, planning ahead before leaving the house, keeping active and focusing on your breathing are just some of the things that you can do to feel calmer and more in control.
Along with a range of tips, the campaign website signposts to sources of help and advice, including NHS Inform, and helplines including NHS24, Breathing Space, SAMH and the Samaritans for those who need to talk to someone about how they’re feeling.
