• Get connected. Building strong, positive relationships with loved ones and friends can provide you with needed support and acceptance in good and bad times. During the pandemic using video chat and social media in safe and responsible ways to stay connected with loved ones is a plus. 
• Make every day meaningful. Do something that gives you a sense of accomplishment, purpose and a little joy  every day. Set goals and intentions to help you look toward the future with meaning.
• Learn from experience. How have you battled hardship in the past?. Consider the skills and strategies that helped you through difficult times. You might even write about past experiences in a journal to help you identify positive and negative behavior patterns — and guide your future behavior.
• Remain hopeful. You can't change the past, but you can always look toward the future. Accepting and even anticipating change makes it easier to adapt and view new challenges with less anxiety.
• Take care of yourself. Tend to your own needs and feelings. Participate in activities and hobbies you enjoy. Include physical activity in your daily routine. Get plenty of sleep. Eat a healthy diet. Practice stress management and relaxation techniques, such as yoga, meditation, guided imagery, deep breathing or prayer.
• Be proactive. Don't ignore your problems. Instead, figure out what needs to be done, make a plan, and take action. Although it can take time to recover from a major setback, traumatic event or loss, know that your situation can improve if you work at it.

• Differentiate between goals and habits. Goals are outcomes, such as “getting good grades.” Habits are the actions you take to achieve a goal. For example, completing and submitting all homework assignments and studying for a predetermined amount of time each day.
• Start with small changes. Make incremental changes toward the behavior you want, and work your way up from there. Even if you improve at something only 1% each week, the changes that add up over time are massive!
• Some practice is better than no practice. Even if you don’t have a lot of energy, do something toward your habit. Consistency builds habits
• Tell someone you’re starting a new habit. Doing so creates accountability and makes it more difficult to back out of your commitment. Also, once others know you’re working toward a goal, they may offer encouragement and support.
• Track your habit. Keep documentation of your progress. You can look back/review your progress and see how far you’ve come throughout the year!
• Celebrate your successes! Healthy habits have long-term benefits and often take time to kick in. While we wait for these, give yourself small, immediate rewards to stay motivated. Make sure that they don’t contradict your goals!
