What to do if lifted mask mandates make you nervous

More and more places are lifting mask mandates which can cause some people to feel nervous or anxious. You are starting to see people walk freely without a mask but you get a lump in your throat worried about COVID. What do you do if lifted mask mandates make you nervous? Here are a few tips!

• Breath - Take slow deep breaths before you put your mask on and focus on where you are at. 
• Understand - Just because the mask mandates are being lifted, does not mean that you have to stop wearing yours. 
• Validate - Everything about COVID is not normal but we can normalize real emotions. It's okay to be nervous about the continued spread of the virus among us. 
• Keep Moving - Even when you feel nervous, don't allow the emotions to keep you stuck. Feel the feelings and do it anyway!
