Reflective Journal
Different people have adopted different coping mechanisms to abide by the government’s order to stay safe at home. While at home, I spent time watching movies, specifically after personal studies, and this helps me to refresh my mind. Staying at home meant that I would not be able to attend the gym for physical exercise. However, this has not prevented me from exercising. To stay at home, I do some jogging daily, and this has helped me remain healthy and thus prevent the onset of diseases. Health is wealth, and being healthy is also one way of making sure that the coronavirus disease cannot become severe in the body. I have also had enough time to socialize with my family and plan for our future, like how and where we will make some investments, and this has been something we have been putting off for a number of times, but thanks to the coronavirus disease. As a way of reconnecting with my friends and classmates, I Face time or zoom regularly to keep on fostering the social aspect of life.
To minimize the chances of getting coronavirus disease, we have purchased a number of sanitizers that we regularly use. In addition, we still honor the social distancing rule to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The stay-at-home order has come with its challenges. The hardest part of obeying the stay-at-home-order has been that I cannot connect physically with my friends and classmates. Friends and classmates made life interesting because we could socialize, share ideas, agree, and disagree and hike together. I am also forced to learn all classes online, and this has not been easy because of the slow network in our area, and I always find myself piling a lot of work. I miss the group synergy from my classmates.
