6 Things To Do To Cope During Quarantine
I have to admit, as an extrovert for most of the hours of the day, I am excited about this enforcement of social distancing. In a society where being constantly “on” and stimulated, is the norm. I hunger for these days of solitude even if it means home with my 5 year old. This worldwide event may just be a signal to pause, come back to basics, the necessities, and settling into oneself, your thoughts and feelings without the influence of others. So I’m taking advantage of it all! The following are 6 relatively simple things to do during your time in quarantine:
Detox Challenge—perfect timing for such a challenge. Pick your favorite or the one you have been wanting to try for a while now and track your results.
At home library and the good old kindle—I’ve read one book a day, reminding me of how wonderful it is to escape through this Avenue.
Guilty pleasures—catch up on every single show, podcast, tutorial, or movies.
FaceTime—I am never one to FaceTime but it does suffice to connect and I am loving it!!
Music blasting—dancing and singing til my heart gives out is a fun way to engage with Quinn and my inner child.
Checking off my to do lists—working from home while taking breaks in between allows productivity to continue.
