Relaxation and breathing techniques
It can be normal to feel worried or stressed when you're unsure of whats happening, so remember to look after your body, mind & spirit by trying some simple relaxation techniques.
Your breath can be an anchor to help you feel calm and settled when you feel anxious.
If you can, lying on your back, knees bent and feet on the floor, gently close your eyes and place the palms of your hands on your stomach and feel how the breath moves the hands.
Try this for 5 minutes or more to help you feel relaxed and calm. If this isn't possible, simply centre yourself and breathe in and out for the count of five. In for five, out for five and when you get ok with this, you can start holding for five in between.
And remember, this will pass.
