Introduction
In this unprecedented period of global uncertainty, we felt it was necessary to put together this workbook to provide our community with much needed support.
The first thing to note right now is that it’s completely normal to be experiencing a wide range of emotions. Accepting your feelings is an important first step to building resilience. The simple act of naming your emotions has been found to benefit wellbeing. So, take a moment now to tune into your body and notice how you’re feeling. Circle the emotions that you identify with:
• Anxious
• Stressed
• Worried
• Fearful
• Low
• Lonely
• Overwhelmed
• Helpless
• Frustrated
• Guilty
• Angry
Remember: It’s okay to feel discomfort. Accepting distress is often the quickest way to feel immediately calmer.
