Why routine helps
NHS mental wellbeing advice often points back to a few core things during isolation: structure, movement, connection, rest and manageable goals. These basics can have a bigger effect than people expect.
10 simple tips
- Get up and dressed at a regular time
- Open curtains and let daylight in
- Make one or two realistic plans for the day
- Keep in touch with family or friends
- Move a little, even if only around the room or home
- Eat and drink regularly
- Do one familiar activity you enjoy
- Limit upsetting news if it is becoming too much
- Be kind to yourself on lower-energy days
- Ask for help early if you are feeling low or overwhelmed
