The best way to me is share our stress, because when you don’t express your concers to another person, you can suffocate in your own problems. That’s why we have to talk with a professional or with a confidence to get opinion in what to do when we are stress. We have to ask for help when we can manage our problems .
Make time for fun is the way that I use during that periods. That is a dull time so I had choose to play video games while working on homework, this is the most useful because you only can do limited stuff in that certain area
I feel like physical activities help me with relieving stress. For example I like to jump rope however I’m unable to step out of the house because of the virus, but because I live in the last floor of a house I am able to jump rope without disturbing anyone.
By staying at home during the pandemic I make time for fun,because it’s the thing I need the most at this moment. When I woke up the first thing I do is listening to music,which is one of my habit,even when Im doing my homework I still got my music on to keep my motivation on .In addition I watch comedy or action movies on Netflix,texting or FaceTime with friends.All that make me feel less stressful during the pandemic moment.
I think the last one is suitable for me which is ” the art of relaxation ” just find an activities that make you more relax ,pleasure and the same time gives you some knowledge, for me watching a movies on Netflix with English subtitles helps me a lot to develop my skills in listening and reading, also building my vocabularies.
