This is going to be a 3-part series. Each of the three posts will contain 5 things to-do when quarantined.
Staying inside your home for longer periods of time due to the recent pandemic could be a little boring and less fun with no activities to do. While the World Health Organization (WHO) says, "Don't drink, smoke or watch too much news", let's know that we have plenty of other adventures to seek.
Some choose to go on procrastinating about the current life situation, but why not make use of this time frame to the fullest of your potential and work on something you've always wanted to explore?
Here, I have 15 things to do if you are feeling bored or going crazy. Either ways, keep yourself occupied and be positive!
1. CLEAN YOUR SPACE:
Everyone has that desk where there is a pile of books not used for a long while or the clothes in your laundry bag waiting to be washed. Get cleaned up with your living environement first. Make sure your ambience smells good, fresh and clean. If you don't really feel like cleaning at a stretch, start small. Start cleaning for 15 minutes everyday, and it gets easier! You will want to continue the cleaning process once you get started and eventually you'll get it done much quicker. Still not convinced? Listen to your favourite music and get started, dance and clean.
2. MEDITATE & PRACTICE YOGA:
Meditation is a vital way to purify and quiet the mind, thus rejuvenating the body. Give your body what it wants - internal peace and external excercise. This is the time you have to spend on your health and take good care of yourself. Next few months, it will all go back to square one to the busy lives and no one will have time for all this. Take time to calm down and get healthy!Here you can check out some 10 minute-daily yoga stretches for beginners https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pKly2JojMw&t=69s and ways to meditate : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0PSUDvLi8E
3. READ A BOOK:
Miss reading novels? Remember those times where we all used to finish reading Enid Blyton books in one day? Recreate those times and read books like crazy. Pick up some old books from your shelves and read them again. There are some books you would want to read again because you like how happy it just makes you feel in doing so. Explore new literary pieces and analyse how each story is devised differently and has got a definitive structure. Then, maybe you could also write a novel someday?
4. LEARN A NEW FOREIGN LANGUAGE:
Not the right time to explore the world definitely, but yes you can explore different languages. It's quite interesting to learn new things and especially to speak in a language your folks at the house don't know!Try Duolingo - The app can help you get started atleast on vocabulary and sentence structures, if not perfect. Try it, you would love it. http://duolingo.com
5. LEARN TO COOK:
Challenge yourself to learn to cook one item a day. You could be starting with anything simple like - a smoothie, salad, sandwich, or even a perfect cup of coffee! Don't hesitate to get into the kitchen and ask your mom some help to begin with. Cooking with the entire family is also fun and thrilling. Once you start enjoying it, you will be on your way to perfecting the meal you prepare. The more love you put into the food you make, it's going to be more palatable. And am sure by doing this, there will be atleast one item that you will be an expert at making. That's because of the uniqueness you add into the flavour of the food or it's just something about your magical hands that make it great.
