Coping strategies that may help
Breathing Exercises
Practicing deep breathing can help calm your mind and reduce stress levels. Try inhaling for four counts, holding for four counts, and exhaling for four counts.
Mindfulness Meditation
Taking a few minutes each day to practice mindfulness can promote relaxation and clarity. Focus on the present moment, acknowledging your thoughts without judgment.
Physical Activity
Engaging in regular physical activity, even a short walk, can boost your mood and alleviate stress. Aim for at least 30 minutes of movement most days.

Reaching out to friends or family, even for a brief chat, can provide emotional support. Sharing your feelings can lighten the burden.
