Top 5 things to do in self isolation

It has been so long since you met friends, did window shopping in a mall and everything that involved with outside world. Home is where you live 24*7 now. Sometimes, you feel the urge to work your ass off to make use of time and sometimes, you don’t! And it is alright to feel that way! The following are some basic straight forward things that you can do at home.

Watch your favourite show/movie

There is no rule anywhere to be productive in self quarantine! Take a break and watch your favourite show. If that is what you want to do, do it without regrets. At the end of the day, your happiness matters the most.

Work toward a goal

It could be anything. Be it weight loss, playing ukulele or even learning to whistle with your fingers, go for it! It need not be a big goal. Do whatever you feel is important to you, ONLY you.

Take care of your health

This self isolation is a low-key detox to your mental and physical health. Remember the 9 to 6 job, tight deadlines, last minute presentations at seminar halls, assignments, quick morning/evening snack at a fast food restaurant? You are giving a temporary break to all of them! Stay home, cook your favourite meal (not to forget that cooking is therapeutic too), lay back and take care of your health like never before.

Be kind and helpful

You don’t necessarily have to donate a whopping amount to a charity. You can start by helping people around you. Giving that extra tip to a delivery person, local vendor, taxi driver or even crediting salary to your house maid who is on leave for safety measures, every small act of generosity is going to be so beneficial. Being kind at a crisis time is key to a better tomorrow.

Spend time with your loved ones

So what if you are living alone at an apartment, far away from home? There is nothing that you virtually can’t do today, talk about the amazing technology! Together apart is the new norm now. Give them a tight hug from behind or blow them a virtual kiss, but either way, love is period.
