Putting me in a panic is too easy. Flood me up with University work, set up urgent deadlines, load me up with negative moods and coronavirus news, and voila, I start panicking! During this quarantine period and with all this virus nightmare, my thoughts got stuffed with fear, stress, and emptiness. Yeah, yeah, the total emptiness… OMG! I try to concentrate on different daily things, turning my brains into oatmeal and TV serials, digested rice and on-line business, some smartly stupid things and stupidly smart trifles, not knowing exactly what to do! ?.

But I’ve already studied myself a bit that I’ve found ways to get out of this state; maybe it’s good for you, too:

?Workouts/stretching. To get away from the negative, I turn on my headphones and devote as much time as possible to my body. I stretch out, take pain in my muscles, clear my thoughts.

? Reading a book. I started reading S. King’s new book “Four After Midnight” and it’s also important to pick up the genre. Even though it’s “horror”, it’s how I switch from real negativity to fictional one. In fact, it’s better to read novels and fantasies.

? Tea. Green, herbal (chamomile), fruity is a great sedative, especially before bedtime.

? Music. Try your playlist, remove songs that are associated with a negative period in life and find those that make you feel pleasant nostalgia.

? If the weather is nice outside, take a walk in the park, get some air and get an extra dose of vitamin D.

? Sweet. Favorite candy, black chocolate, honey with nuts. It’s all good for the mood but come to it with your mind too. Because the measure has to be everywhere.
