Being isolated away from family and friends may be lonely at times, and becomes boring if you do not know how to fill in the time.
It is best to make the most of the situation, with a positive mindset by improving yourself and your life, changing focus.
Below are several of my ideas of how to do this.
Improve Your Cooking & Baking Skills
Experiment, create and taste new flavours and recipes you have not tried before.
Invest in D.I.Y Projects
Begin in your yard or indoors. Paint, decorate, and craft with recycled materials. Design an object or piece of furniture that is unique and special to you.
Pursue Photography
Capture the beauty and art of the environment and nature around you. Post online, print and paste, or create a website to display your favourite photographs.
Write or Journal
Unleash your inner thoughts and feelings. List what you are thankful for each and every day. Write out your aspirations for the short and long term, also how you will achieve this.
Exercise
Create your own personalised workout routine, to do from home. Be inventive and create your own weights from materials you have around. Cycle, if possible. Take walks in nature. Explore your local area.
Practice Mindfulness
Deep breathing exercises have many benefits, especially calming the mind, soul and body, reminding ourselves to be more present. I recommend Smiling Mind and Headspace for Meditation.
Connect with Others
Keep in contact with family and friends. You are still able to socialise!
Discover New TV Shows, Movies and Documentaries
Or Binge Watch your favourite one! Read my new post about what I reccomend you to watch.
Organise
Rearrange your space and your life. Take this time to declutter and minimalise, transforming the aesthetics and style of the home you live in.
Research
Now is the perfect time to discover new information and educate yourself about your interests, the world, news and history etc.
Teach Yourself a New Skill
Be bold and pursue your favourite hobbies, while learning new ones too!
Listen to New Music
Explore the vast variety of genres and sounds. Discover more to suit your style.
