2. Get Active:

3. Stop Isolating:
Participate in social or religious activities.
4. Talk About It:
Spend time with other people that you can talk to.
5. Realistic Expectations:
Do small tasks as you can rather than all at once.
6. Find Hope:
Set goals for yourself and plan events and activities to look forward to.
7. Change Your Stinking Thinking:
Try to change your negative thoughts into positive ones.
8. Relaxation:
Take deep breathes, listen to music, take a bath, find what works for you.
9. Self-Care:
Get out of bed, shower, put on clean clothes, brush your teeth, do your hair and/or make-up, and any other self-care tasks. You'll feel better about yourself and have a routine to start your day.
10. Healthy Habits:
Along with self-care, you need to eat and sleep right. Eat healthy food at least three times a day and sleep eight hours. Go to bed and wake up at regular times each day.
