How do you all unwind after a stressful day? Do you make time for hobbies? I’m usually so tired that all I want to do is sit in front of the tv.

I exercise, read, or do a puzzle for at least 30 minutes a day. I need to have that me time everyday to destress!

Watching funny animal videos on TikTok. After a hard day's wprk, I don't have much energy to do anything else.

I try to exercise daily for at least an hour to unwind. If I really need a break, I go hiking out of state.

I felt this. I go to work and solve problems all day, then come home and have to clean my house and I'm just so mentally exhausted. I mostly cope with stress by having friends to talk to and vent my frustrations.

So I have a volunteer job with a youth organization doing something totally different a few days each month. But there's nothing wrong with not having commitments outside of work.

For a while, I had no idea what to do with my free time on days off from work. I do wish I’d taken up gardening or woodworking sooner. They come in handy and enhance your sense and appreciation of art and nature.

Lounge on the sofa and a watch netflix. I don't have the energy to do any hobbies. I just want to wrap myself with a blanket.

I made a promise to myself that I would allot an hour of my week doing my hobby which is crocheting. It helps me relax and keep my mind off work.

I don't have the energy to do any hobbies after a stressful day at work. Good thing my husband has my back and takes care of everything whenever I don't feel like doing anything.

I try to devote my Saturdays to pick-up on an old hobby or anything creative. So far, I feel a lot lighter. It really helped me manage stress.

Cuddle with my kids. That's all I need to destress after a stressful day. It's very healing. And my kids love it. They even randomly hug me whenever I feel sad.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
