14.  Identify the stress triggers
Sometimes, just identifying and talking about the problem will help.
When we’re spending more time indoors or alone, it’s very easy to
dwell on problems and build them into enormous structures in our
mind.
 Work out physically
If you’re feeling isolated or cooped up, there are many online workout
videos you can utilize: Yoga with Adriene, HASfit, or BeFit. As well as
those on YouTube, many gyms are now hosting videos on their website
or app in response to their buildings closing. Working out will also
bring some sound and energy into the house.

15. Adjust your work priorities.
If you have too much work, ask if there are any tasks
that can be put aside while you focus on your
immediate workload.
 Learn new skills.
Do something productive and creative.
You could also make a personal development plan during
this time.
