1. HOUSE MAKEOVER

Tired of seeing the same old seating/dining arrangements, day in, day out? With a lockdown in full progress, this may be a good time to rejig the decor and give your home a fresh new look. Change the curtains, move your tables, chairs and sofas around the house to try out new combinations. Besides burning good calories, who knows, this activity could help you hit the reset button and let you escape the drudgery of same-old.

2. FIND THE BOOKWORM IN YOU

This is a no-brainer to be honest. Besides being a great entertainer, this can be a great use of your me-time, simply because you will enhance your knowledge of people, society, history and culture.

3. BUILD A NEW BODY

You need to do an activity for 3 weeks for it to become a habit, they earlier said. Even though that has been disproved, fitness experts will vouch for the fact that you can see the effects of exercise in this time. If you have been thinking of getting fitter, take up yoga or Pilates, or join a functional workout class from home. Many yoga and fitness trainers are offering classes online at this time—follow them on their social media pages to find the best option. What’s more, the fitness and aerobics videos on YouTube can be real fun!

4. LET THE CREATIVITY FLOW

There are literally dozens of YouTube tutorials that you can access. Learn to dance or take to karaoke. Bring-out your inner Elvis. Not musically inclined? You could learn a new language too. There are very decent language tutorials available online. You need to be disciplined if you are serious about this and carry on even after the lockdown.

5. LISTEN YOUR FAVOURITE MUSIC

It doesn’t matter if it’s a head banger or a calming song. The key is to transport yourself to a place in your head where you feel safe and happy. Music memory can do this successfully.

6. TAKE A BREAK FROM NEWS

We all know that the coronavirus continues to spread, and it seems to be all that the media is focusing on at the moment. This news can be very upsetting and stressful to hear day after day. Taking a break from social media and the news can be a good way to distract yourself for a while. It’s important to take this situation seriously and stay informed, but becoming obsessed with the news regarding the virus can be seriously detrimental to your mental health.
Take a break, the news will still be there tomorrow.

7. FAMILY TIME

Use this as an opportunity to spend quality time with your family and siblings. Look at this (time) as a godsend to reconnect with your family. After all, it is because of the support of your family that you are having an opportunity to make sports as a career. It’s time to give back to them by helping them with their chores, talking with them and being happy rather than cribbing about the current situation and being lonely.

8. CREATIVITY IN CUISINE

The next two weeks will test even the best of home cooks with all meals having to be prepared at home. But with supermarkets remaining open – and hopefully well stocked – it means we will have all the tools necessary to make healthy meals.

And with so much time to spare, why not get creative in the kitchen? Find some recipes online to recreate at home and get the family involved – if you haven’t throttled them all yet.

Cooking a big meal can be a therapeutic pass time and help ease your anxiety over the coronavirus pandemic.
