How does one recover after a stressful moment or situation? Recovery tools help one create pockets of time and space to relax, unwind, rest, and think about what happened.

​

Here are some activities that can help you recover:
 

• Spend some time with yourself. You could take a walk, a shower, or a nap. 

• Sip a cup of a warm beverage like tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. 

• Lie down on your terrace, balcony, or any other open space and watch the clouds go by. 

• Engage with nature.

• Colour some art. 

• Write a journal.

• Think about and process the situation you just faced: was there one good thing that happened in that stressful situation? For instance, are you proud of how you reacted in the moment – like not yelling, or using the right words at the right time?
