Just my small contribution to the quarantine/productivity discussion - I was severely burned out before the lockdown was put in place. I& #39;m putting zero pressure on myself to create, but I am pushing myself to develop healthier coping mechanisms for stress. (1/3)
I& #39;ve learned since lockdown started that I have an extremely low stress threshold, which isn& #39;t like me. Probably my prolonged exposure to it through life finally spilled over. My long term health is more important than making art and what could be more stressful than a pandemic?
I feel like if I can develop good coping mechanisms in the face of a global pandemic, I& #39;ll be better equipped to cope with daily stress and be productive when this is over, and in the future. Don& #39;t underestimate the importance of mental and emotional wellness. (3/3)
(That said it& #39;s obviously easier said than done and not everyone can make their mental wellness a priority. If this advice doesn& #39;t apply to you then just don& #39;t take it, no need to comment saying as much, this thread isn& #39;t for you.)
