Kapanlagi.com - To suppress the spread of the corona virus covid-19, everyone is advised to undergo self-quarantine at their respective homes. Staying at home for 14 days is certainly not an easy thing to do. This certainly makes many people look for ways to overcome stress while staying at home.

Especially for people with dynamic lives, who are used to being active outside the house. Boredom is likely to easily arise. As a result, if not addressed, boredom can turn into stress.

But, actually there are various ways to overcome stress that can be done during self-quarantine. What are those ways? Here are 7 ways to overcome stress during 14 days of self-quarantine.

1. Do Daily Activities on Schedule

Actually, there are many daily activities that you can do while staying at home, such as cleaning, doing laundry, sweeping, cooking, and so on. So, to overcome boredom that can lead to stress, you can make a list or schedule of daily activities related to those activities.

By organizing activities according to a schedule, your activities will be more focused and varied. So, you won't easily get bored even if you're just at home and doing the same activities over and over again.

2. Exercise

Although the space for movement during self-quarantine is very limited, you can still exercise. You can do indoor exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups, yoga, and so on. Besides being one way to prevent stress, exercising can also make you healthier.

If your place of residence is in a sparsely populated area, you can exercise in the yard under the morning sunlight exposure. Because, as you know, exposure to morning sunlight can boost the immune system. By doing so, you will be more protected from the corona virus covid-19.

3. Pursuing Hobbies

Everyone surely has a hobby in the form of activities they enjoy. Well, you can use this hobby of yours as a way to overcome stress when you start getting bored at home.

Of course, it is advisable to engage in hobbies that can be done indoors, such as cooking, reading, painting, and so on. This is because you will gain positive energy and a sense of joy when doing something you truly enjoy.

4. Enjoying Entertainment

Just like hobbies, everyone surely has their own entertainment preferences. However, there are several examples of entertainment that can be done while at home, such as playing games, watching movies, reading books, listening to music, and so on.

Especially in this digital age, various forms of entertainment like movies and music can be accessed digitally. So you don't have to worry about feeling bored, let alone stressed.

5. Eating Favorite Food

Favorite food can be a source of happiness. Eating favorite food has been proven to be able to evoke feelings of happiness. Therefore, by eating your favorite food, it means you can be more protected from stress.

It's a good idea to cook your favorite food yourself. Besides being able to control the taste, you can also pay more attention to the nutritional content and cleanliness of the ingredients used. So, besides being protected from stress, you will also become healthier.

6. Seeking Information

You can also use your free time while staying at home during the lockdown to always follow the latest information about the development of the spread of the corona virus covid-19.

However, it's better not to dwell only on information about the corona virus covid-19. Because, this can actually make you more stressed because you feel pressured and think too much about the situation out there. Balance your intake of information with more general and entertaining information.

7. Building Communication with Loved Ones

During the 14-day self-quarantine, you will likely have limited interaction and conversation with others. This may be one of the triggers for stress while staying at home.

To overcome this, you can communicate with your loved ones such as family, relatives, or friends. You can communicate through chatting, phone calls, or even video calls.

Maximize the use of technology to keep each other informed. Additionally, you can also exchange stories and entertain each other through the virtual world.
