If you find yourself on staycation, then follow these tips

Avoid panic shopping

Panic shopping, as the name implies, only creates stress.  If you are looking for work clothes, find outfits that match easily. If home shopping walk around and see what you really or think you need?

Learn to identify fake news and fake rumors.

Rumors, yellowing news, and alarming videos will be in all media, mainly social networks. Select your trusted sources and try to check their official websites and social networks. Are your “friends” posting rumors they heard about you?

Take breaks away from the news.

If the news makes you nervous, set free hours on television, radio, newspapers, and digital media, yes, including social media. It is not about ignoring the world; just find out to stay alert and forewarned at any indication.

Motivate yourself and motivate others.

Since you will have free time, you can use it to make videos about your dogs, inspire texts, or create drawings. Review your old photographs and remember moments from the past with your loved ones. Together, they can plan new adventures for the future.

Start conversations with your children, siblings, or nephews where everyone can express their feelings, such as fear, sadness, or despair. Also, do activities together to cope with quarantine, from watching a movie, putting together a puzzle, playing video games, or doing crafts.

Maintain virtual contact with your friends and family.

s. Take into account that going out and visiting other people exposes not only you but also them. The means to communicate are not enough, from an email, social networks, video calls, or simple calls.

Don’t quit your job

Set aside a comfortable space that doesn’t limit your creativity and productivity. To avoid feeling isolated, organize video conferences with your colleagues and work together. They can also take time to talk about any topic, like movies and books, share tips for coping with quarantine, or introduce their family or pets.

Keep your routines

Being quarantined does not mean stopping or changing all your activities. If you water your plants or do cleaning on weekends, keep doing it. If you have days to visit friends or family, call them and catch up.

Listen to yourself and pamper yourself.

Pay attention to what you need and how you feel. Lean on your close loved ones, your network of virtual contacts, and your pets. Express your feelings, exercise, sleep well, eat with your health in mind, and indulge yourself.

Get away from toxic fear.

Usually, you feel fear. This feeling is healthy when prudence motivates you and forces you to protect yourself and stay home without affecting your mental health. But when fear generates collective hysteria, compulsive shopping, and takes away sleep, it becomes toxic. You will be able to go on vacation again!
