Limit worry and agitation by lessening the time you spend watching or listening to upsetting media coverage. Take a break from watching the news and focus on the things that are positive in your life and things you have control over

This emotion can leave you feeling helpless and overwhelmed. Acknowledge your anxiety with understanding, and then turn your mind to other things:

“It’s understandable I am concerned about the current situation, AND I understand that worry is not an effective way to respond.”

Focus on asking “what now” rather than “why.” Practice patience with yourself and others. Let things unfold and assume others are trying to do the right thing.

Focus on rational rather than emotional responses and engage in active problem solving. Find out who is available to answer your questions, provide accurate information and guide you.
