ANALYSIS

1. What were the feelings mentioned a lot?


2. What did you notice about your reactions to the different situations?
3. Are these normal reactions to everything that you have experienced?

APPLICATION

1. Today you learned that our reactions to the stressful events of Pandemic or any other form of
disaster were normal and valid. How does this new learning that my reactions and feelings
toward Covid-19/disaster were normal after all help me?
2. How can you apply this learning to your life especially after experiencing such a pandemic?

Pause and Think. Then write, My Dear Friend. During the months of lockdown, what were the 5 routines
or reactions you did at home? An example would be; “I slept most of the time.” Or, “I watch
television/GMA7/AbsCbn.” Others may say,” Nothing. I help in the household chores.” Number them
from 1-5, and write them down on the front part of your letter.

On the space below, write to your friend about your feelings towards your reactions or routines. An
example of feeling would be; “I felt bored.” Or, “I felt afraid.” Others may say, “I experienced anxiety.”
You can repeat your feelings, but, you may not repeat the routines or reactions. You can explain why
you felt that way or why you reacted that way. You do not need to write a long letter. A short one will
do.
