Here’s how you can deal with stress or boredom during self-isolation period

Relationships are essential for our mental health
Keep in touch with family members and friends via telephone, email or social media platforms. Keep your relationships alive by talking every day to friends, neighbors and relatives.

Good food and exercise
Make sure to eat good food and exercise daily. Whip up something new or make an old favorite. Involve the kids. Fill your home with fragrant scents from spices or baking bread.

Get organized
Sort through your junk drawer; organize your kitchen cabinets; alphabetize your spices; untangle and label that pile of electronic cords; clean the garage.

Learn a new skill
Calligraphy? Sketching? Knitting? Poetry? Origami? This is a great time to try your hand at something new. In addition to fun stuff, consider learning a new language or another skill you could use in your career. Online resources are almost endless whether through a virtual class, online forum, YouTube videos and more.

​Home school
Even parents who are still working from home can keep their children learning. You don’t have to be an expert or have state-of-the art supplies. Your best will be enough. Identify a space for your home classroom. You can also ask your child’s school to supply assignments or homework by post or email
