Publicity

Everyone can share their best recipes during confinement, or just tell how they can cope better with voluntary social isolation. On Instagram @RFI, we could read very good advice from Oliuchkast: “ One hour of sport per day. One day vegetable dishes, another pasta or rice. It is also a good time to learn another language, read books that you never have time to read, call our loved ones, do the housework. Virtual museum tours are online, as well as opera performances. Here are some ideas :-) "

Recommendations that monicky should follow, who admits radically: " I don't know what to do, I'm bored to death :-("

Mayagarkavaya is more voluntary and generous: “ Work online and thank each student. "

" In Africa, it's not containment but hell "

It is on the Facebook page of @RFI that our fans have been the most talkative with the expression of their moods as well, as well as recipes or ideas to select for the days. Between useful advice, kindness but also already a great weariness.

We start with the zenitude of Chris S: “ In Moscow, I spend my time of confinement by reading my favorite books, at the same time a chili soup alongside to better start my day. "

And the practical side of Alexandra O: “ I read a lot and I play sports! It helps to forget that we are confined. Or even more practical from Adechina T: " Eating healthy, praying and fasting will allow you to lose a little weight, or even make it less boring." "

Ruhumuriza R explains: “ I did enough shopping at the supermarket (food, toilet paper, disinfectants, etc.) after the announcement, and I paid for the internet. I'm always connected and watching documentaries. I cook at home, I never go out, I stopped sport because I live in an apartment that has no space. I'm still locked in my room, I'm comfortable, but the confinement has had an impact on my economy. "

Your advice to calmly face confinement. DR

Gaël N made us smile: “ In normal times I am rather lonely and homebody, but the confinement to three, I cannot bear. So I lock myself in my room and I dismantle everything: old tv, faulty pc ... However I do not repair anything, but that occupies me a little. "

For some it is complicated and they express it like Christian ZRS: “ We in Africa are not confinement but hell. "Or Brother MF:" The confinement in the DRC is more than the prison. "And Yves EPL:" I am too bored. "

Courage to them!

According to Avó ANC: “ Wifi + sleep to be consumed in moderation. "

And this testimony from Chloé J made us smile: “ Frankly, given the number of homework assignments given to children, there is no time to be bored! The teachers are not unemployed, neither are the parents of students !!!! "

Sime I is an ascetic: “ Read the Bible, pray, meditate, wash your hands with disinfectant gel, drink hot tea with lemon, avoid eating all the time, play sports. "

A great spring cleaning, this confinement !

On Twitter @RFI or @RFIAfrique, adji S seems greedy and in any case made us hungry: “ I prepare my donuts; chapati (pancake); I watch my movies on my laptop, not forgetting that I pray a lot. "

Babongui ECL is a wise counselor: “ I encourage my entourage to make videos on their confinement or on the difficulties they encounter following the cessation of their activity. "

Besides, have you thought of keeping a notebook of containment, with each day your impressions, your work on yourselves, your successes too.

As for Cml_dessinatrice, positive advice also for those who want to take advantage of it to evolve, it refers us to online coaching: “ The coach @bnbpositive offers live lessons every day at 6:00 pm on IG and FB !!! It's great ! "

We can in any case only follow the advice of Estelle A: " I do the housework and for the first time, I do it without thinking of a job that awaits me. An opportunity to do a big spring cleaning, this confinement!

We are waiting for the rest of your recipes!
