It’s
been 2-3 weeks of social distancing, and a hell lot of adjustment.
These are stressful times, and it’s important to do all we can to
keep ourselves relaxed and positive. If you’ve tried almost
everything, and are out of your wit on what to do next to get over
gloominess, here are a few things you could try.
Scented candles can be instant mood boosters.
Take it a step forward. Draw yourself a nice, warm bath. Light the
candles. Put on some nice soothing music, and let yourself loose.
Come on, you have to admit, you always wanted to do it but never had
the time. This is
the time. Let the subtle, fascinating scents soothe you.
Spa
Day
Skin
care, you can never have enough of that. You can find some homemade
face mask recipes here (

). Go on. Pamper yourself.
Doodle
A Wall
If
art’s your thing, start doodling a wall. The best part is you can
get back to it whenever you have the time or feel like it. Doodling
can be very satisfying. Try it.
Create
Your Playlists
Bet
you’ve never had this much luxury of time, but now that you have
it, you might as well create your playlists on Spotify or whatever
music app you use. Do different playlists for different moods.
Workout With Your Friends
While workout is a good idea, social workout is
even great. Make a group, fixup a time and get on your Facetime.
Happy hormones released by exercise become happier with friends!
A
journal is a great way of investing your energy creatively. Plus you
get to keep the memories for a lifetime.
Pick Up Reading
Thanks to Kindle and e-books, you can read up
and not be dependent on a physical book. If you love reading, this
time is a gift and if you aren’t a great fan, then too there’ll
always be this one book you’d want to read. Find that one book.
Laugh
Not in a weird, creepy way but in a good happy
way. Bring internet to your rescue – watch funny pet videos, read
sarcastic one-liners or maybe have a video conference with your best
buddies. There’s nothing that’ll lift your spirits up than a good
laugh.
I liked the ideas for working with friends. Gladly I have many friends who helped me during this crazy period we all been through. Somehow I managed to learn some basic guitar tunes even though hands are large for guitar. Thanks anyways! Ciao!
