Johnny: Art is great...

Jill: Avoid isolating yourself too much, or for too long. Go and have a free lunch at a soup kitchen or if you are in Scotland, Social Bite. Also avoid anything which has a negative impact on your mood, including some people or bad media news, etc.

Zaya: Use the 5 ways to wellbeing created by New Economics Foundation: connect, be active, take notice, keep learning, give. See p10.

Andrea: Practising self-care is one of the hardest things in the world to do, but it is vital to one’s survival. Try to:

  • Take a little exercise each day
  • Take care of your personal hygiene as this can bring us down and make us feel low
  • Eat well
  • Avoid/manage alcohol intakes as this is a depressant.
