All the factors combined can be a lot to handle, so Headspace Goulburn led by their services manager Gail Davies, has some tips to help make lives a little easier.

One advice is to focus on things you can control rather than things you can't control.

Things you can control include self-care, what you eat and drink, what you post to social media, how you spend your free time, setting your own boundaries and asking for help.

Things out of your control include death, how others feel, the weather, pandemics, the media and the future.

If you're getting bored at home with physical distancing or missing friends and family, you can connect with them digitally.

You can also learn something new online, pick up or learn a new instrument, watch television, spending time with pets, exercising and get creative by journaling, painting, collaging, writing, dancing or singing.
