Tips from Prilly Latuconsina to Overcome Stress at Home During the Pandemic

Kapanlagi.com - The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has caused a lot of stress for many people. Especially for those who are used to working outside of their homes, they now have to stay at home and limit their social interactions.

This was also felt by Prilly Latuconsina. However, she quickly bounced back by engaging in various activities that she enjoys. Here are some tips from Prilly Latuconsina to overcome stress while at home.

"The first tip is to do activities that you enjoy at home. Many friends are stressed at home because they can't do anything," said Prilly Latuconsina during the Facebook Rakit Bangkit Social For Good event, on Friday (30/10).

"So I ended up making a list of various activities that I like to do at home, which I couldn't do before because of work. For example, cooking, reading books, or watching various films. It can help kill your boredom and reduce stress while at home," she continued.

1. Know Your Potential

The next tip from the movie star DANUR is to recognize and explore the potential that exists within ourselves. Because who knows, it could be a business capital that generates income during this Covid-19 pandemic.

"Know what you are capable of, it could be your capital to become an entrepreneur. Like for example, my friend likes cooking, so she started a homemade cooking business. Eventually, she became productive and helped her family's economy," she said.

2. Share with Family and Psychologist

However, if all of these activities have been done but you still experience stress, Prilly Latuconsina suggests sharing with your family or consulting with a psychologist for your mental health.

"If it doesn't work to relieve your stress, don't hesitate to seek help from a mental health professional to ease your stress," said Prilly Latuconsina.

"You can contact a psychologist, your closest family, your closest friends, and share what you feel so that it can help you deal with your mental state which may be unstable due to the pandemic," she concluded.

3. Important to Apply Health Protocols

Maintaining mental health during this pandemic is indeed necessary, but equally important is implementing health protocols. By doing so, not only yourself but also people around you will be protected from potential exposure to the coronavirus.

So, always remember Mother's message, KLovers. Be diligent in washing hands with soap, wearing a mask when traveling, and avoiding crowds. Hopefully, this pandemic will end soon.
