If you're a high risk individual like
me, you're probably sick of Netflix and chilling. The good news is
there are plenty of other things you can do while house-bound and
even a few things you can do outside the home. You don't have to go
stir crazy. You may even have a few things on your to do list you can
check off while in forced isolation.
So, what's on that list of yours? If
you've been putting off dull household chores like organizing
cupboards, re-arranging or repairing things around the house, now you
have plenty of time to address them. Likewise, if you're an artist,
writer or have another hobby you never have time for, here's your
chance to explore your creative side.
Getting out of the house is possible.
You just have to avoid people. Spring is nearly here. How about
planning your garden or landscaping? On warm days, you could do any
needed outdoor repairs. Tackle small painting projects. Or, just sit
on the porch, sip lemonade (or a margarita) and watch the crocus
bloom.
Speaking of, what if you just want to
relax and have fun with your forced time off? The good news is, you
can enjoy the great outdoors without the chores. Take a nature walk
or just a scenic drive without any worries of contracting anything.
Just stay away from highly populated tourist areas and attractions.
You can have plenty of indoor fun too.
There's always video games and other tech related entertainment. Or
you can do some things you haven't done in a while. Kick it old
school with board games, cards, etc. If you have no one to play with,
well, ironically, there's always solitaire.
How do you stay in shape? Well, there's
those aforementioned nature walks. You could make use of that dusty
basketball hoop on the garage. Or, you could check out online or on
demand exercise videos. Better yet, crank up the music and go
footloose. A little dance session never hurt anyone. Plus, no
witnesses.
So, what am I doing during my own
personal self isolation? Well, there will be music. If you're lucky,
you won't catch me dancing. Nobody needs to see that atrocity. But
you might catch me flinging paint at a canvas in wild abandonment or
happily tapping out blog posts. In short, I'm having fun with it and
so should you.
