Abstract

From the Covid-19 situation, schools and universities have an online education policy. Making students need to adapt to change that occur. As a result, some learners experience negative emotions such as stress, anxiety, loneliness, and aloneness, which leads to physical health problems. Therefore, it is necessary that teachers, lecturers, or educational personnel including the learners themselves should be aware of how to manage negative emotions. This can be done in two ways: 1) Distanced Self-talk, and 2) Expressive Writing. If learners can manage their negative emotions effectively, it will allow them to be able to adapt to diversity and be ready to deal with the changing situations in the present as well.
