How to get rid of Coronastress?

Dear community,

We all feel it.

Its all around us.

We cant escape.

COVID-19

And lets face it… its no fun to stay at home. To miss our family and friends.

Not being able to go out freely and enjoy ourselves.

Instead we are being confied.

They advise us to stay at home.

To come out as little as possible.

And yes… you’re not the only one. Im getting stressed out aswell. The walls are closing in on me at times aswell.

What did/do I do?

Well… I rediscovered my long and lost hobbie. Playing acoustic guitar.

I used to play alot of guitar when I was younger. I could express my feelings while fingerpicking those single notes and chords. I could canalise my emotions.

So… why dont you restart your long and lost hobbie? Painting, drawing, singing, handcraft… you name it.

Remember what made you happy. What made you relax.

And try to build it up again.

All starts are difficult. But the more you get into it.

The better it will make you feel. And canalise those mixed Corona emotions.

Below you can find a few short videos of me playing my acoustic guitar.

Tell me what you think and maybe give me a thumbs up.

Leave me a reply and tell me what your long and lost hobbie is.

We are all in this together. Atleast lets try to make the best of it.

Be safe. And all the best to you, your family and friends!

Lets beat COVID-19!

By the sound of it, you didn’t have to dust off those guitar skills all that much @Bart1975 - sounds pretty cool.

During the heaviest period of the lockdown I have dug up some jigsaw puzzles from the attic again :slightly_smiling_face: Not as creative as playing an instrument, but it did allow me to listen to some podcasts that I usually listen to when driving the car.

Ahh thanks Jan.

It has always been my passion.

My fingers were a bit “woody” in the beginning… lol

Especially when I restarted fingerpicking.

And jig-saw puzzles. How cool is that?

I made one, not so long ago, from 500 pieces. I enjoyed it very much and it calmed me down by doing so.

So… every hobbie is a cool and personal hobbie. Keep doing it Jan.

Let that coronastress go… :wink: :+1:

Mvg,

Bart

@Bart1975 excelente idea, felicidades por retomar lo que te gusta y porque lo haces con amor, que hermoso talento tiene, nos encanta la música, también hemos aprovechado este tiempo para componer y grabar unas cuantas melodías que teníamos olvidadas, incluso contactamos a unos amigos para grabar cada uno desde su casita, éste tiempo de descanso es ideal para desarrollar nuevos proyectos. https://youtu.be/ngGFlan92FA.
