If You Love Someone, Please Take Care of Them Series presents Activities to Relieve Stress during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
I have heard people around me complaining about stress that builds up from social distancing measures. Many have to stay home for a long time without going out due to work-at-home policies. Some people are stressed because their business activities are limited or suspended. Until the situation returns to normal, we need to find ways to relieve stress. Let’s see what activities we can enjoy at home.
Cooking
Many people have made their first attempts at cooking during the lockdown. Some have enjoyed searching for a new recipe to try every day. And some people have uncovered their hidden talent and even want to try out for Masterchef! Besides fun, cooking can help you save money, too.
Dancing
I’ve seen comments on social media stating that social distancing offers an opportunity for a new star to shine. Many have discovered the joy of dancing and have become rising stars on social media platforms with their cover dances or celebrity impersonation videos. The hottest phrase at the moment is none other than, “the orange is miraculously stopped” and it has been impersonated by thousands of netizens.
Gardening
You might not have been interested in gardening before the pandemic but after staying home for a long time, you might have ideas to create a little green space at home or find plants that can purify air in your room, or even want to grow organic vegetables for your health.
Interior decoration/house renovation.
After spending more time at home, you might start to notice several areas in your house that need to be repaired or find new ideas to redecorate your home. Hunting for unique furniture with an affordable price online or painting your entire house can be a good way to kill free time at home.
Hair styling
As salons were shut down during the lockdown, many people have transformed themselves into hair dressers or nail artists by learning beauty tips from YouTubers. Before the end of this pandemic, many of you may find new career opportunity in the beauty business.
Online shopping
If you are craving the mall shopping experience, online shopping malls may be the place for you to relieve stress while you are at home during the social distancing period. Online marketplace is where you can find all kinds of products to meet your demands and interests whether you are into cooking, gardening, or home decoration.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing has become our new normal. We’re now spending more time at home and less time socialising. But this is a new way of life that we need to embrace in order to stop the virus outbreak. At the moment, all we can do is find new activities we can do at home to relieve our stress.
