Share this with your children, family and friends. Anxiety is definitely a valid state of being right now.

It’s okay if you are feeling anxious about the news.

Feeling anxious about what you’re seeing on the news right now is a perfectly normal emotional response. The news at the moment is upsetting and scary. How you feel right now is valid. During times like this, it’s important that you do what you can to look after yourself.

Here is some advice:

1/ Talk to someone you trust

While it is normal to feel worried, if you are starting to feel overwhelmed, it’s important to acknowledge your feelings and speak to someone you trust, whether that’s a friend, a family member, a teacher or a helpline

2/ Don’t over expose yourself to the news

Do take a break from social media if you feel like the updates are getting too much. Remember you are in control of what you see on your feed. Take breaks when you do feel like things are getting too much or mute and unfollow accounts that make you feel more worried

3/ Find things that help you feel calm

Think about some activities that can help when you are feeling overwhelmed, like breathing techniques, writing down how you feel, playing music or talking to a friend

Share this post with your child, and visit our website for more advice on how to cope with how you are feeling.

There isn't always enough time for a full workout, but don't skip it, try to do a little something instead...

Head to the Videos tab at the top of the page and select our 'Quick Workouts' playlist.

This is your daily self-care check.

Can you find a few moments of quiet for yourself?

Just as you do during a Pilates class, concentrate firstly on your breathing, and try to declutter your thoughts, process them calmly and just be for a little while...
