[O] Aaravos's Isolation Advice

Greetings amino, from your neighbourly startouch mage, Aaravos.

It has come to my attention that with the current events, it is best to self isolate. Today I will be providing some coping mechanisms for those less keen on staying indoors for prolonged periods.

For the sake of convenience, all in character commentary will be in italics as shown above.

It is important that ,

even during this crisis,

you are able to talk to

your friends and close

family outside your own

household.

Even if you are unable

to physically visit some

body you know or like ,

having some form of

communication to rely

on even in your darkest

hours of lonesomeness

will     most    definitely

assist you   in   keeping

morale      high.

Trust my word when I

say; No communication

at all can leave one quite

mad after a while....

One thing very valuable

is that many of you are

well aware of the world

just   outside   of   your

home. Please be weary

of whom you trust to

discuss certain things.

Sites such as the BBC

for the Uk or the CDC

for the Americans are

by far the safest ones

as they contain official

information and sources

for   their   articles.

Please follow the advice

that your politicians and

scientists provide.

If you are self isolating,

you may be wondering

about what you can do

during   this   lonesome

time    for   extroverts,

but dream come   true

for    introverts. . .

And so I have compiled

a brief list of things!!!

□ Keep up with school work/studies

          Alot of people are still students. So be sure to check with your school when, where and how to do your online classes so that you can get the best out of your education.

          During my time .... here? I have managed to keep my mind fresh with many spells for different types of magic. Being knowledgable in many things can often make it a little tricky to keep up with some of the simpler things; especially when I didnt have anyone to nag at me to do it anymore.

□ Keep a diary.

            If speaking to someone isnt doing it for you, writing a diary to keep your head clear may helo out alot. Doccument your experiences as they happen. Who knows, maybe one day historians will want to see them.

             A diary is self explanitory. You dont have to make one if you do not wish, but bottling up your emotions even when on your own is not a healthy habit to endure. For some sketching and doodling your emotions out may be enough; for others its material such as doccumentation or poetry. Do as you please.

□ Watch entertainment

              Alot of you may have considered that this is a great opportunity to watch new series, movies or shows that you may not have otherwise considered seeing! This could be via sites like Netflix, Youtube or even Crunchyroll!

              Entertainment, i think, is a pretty effective way to boost your own morale and keep your mind clear of any stress within the moment. Though, reading can also count as such entertainment if you do not have access to such online services.

□    Hobbies

             This category basically sums up anything else you want or like! This could be playing videogames, drawing things, analysing or writing things ect.. Have some fun and relax with something that makes you happy that you want to get better at.

             Hobbies are a light grey middle ground between the black and white spectrum of being outdoors and active and being indoors and bored. Without hobbies, there is less you are able to do when boredom strikes.

And depending on how long quarrantine lasts, they might just be your holy grail for your morale.
