Jesus, what a year so far.
Coronavirus has struck the nation, nay, the world and in attempt to defeat it, several countries have announced public lockdowns. Whatever your opinion on the politics surrounding the virus, many of us have found ourselves with a lot of time on our hands, something we often take for granted. It's easy to lose purpose and motivation when you're couped up inside, but it's an essential step to contain the virus before it spreads even further. So I've decided to come up with a little list of things to keep us occupied during the coming weeks of our lockdown. 1. Volunteer - thousands have already signed up to help with things like delivering food to vulnerable people, escorting patients home once they're stabilised and giving time to call people that may feel alone during this time. You can choose when and what you do, giving you complete control of your involvement, and it's a great opportunity to give something to the community without putting yourself at too much risk. Here's the link to the volunteering page if you're interested: https://www.goodsamapp.org/NHS 2. Face time friends and family - keep in touch with your loved ones and check in with the people you're closest too. Reminisce, make plans for the future, allow yourself to have something to look forward to. 3. Home improvements - it's the perfect time to do all of the things you've wanted to do around the house but never found the time to. Why not put your time to good use and have a little rearrange, upgrade or refresh? 4. Down time - take advantage of the time you've been granted to read a book, watch a movie or create a masterpiece. Channel your inner creativity and do the things you love. 5. Makeovers - experiment with different looks, drag makeup, dress up, create a character, become someone else. Change up your hair. Now is the perfect time to unleash your creative skills without the worry of having to go out in public with a wonky fringe, makeup-stained eyes or an overly-plucked brow. 6. Channel your inner child - build a fort, play a game, paint a picture. The best thing about kids is their ability to invent, so channel your inner child and create your own fun. 7. Home workouts - what harm can it do? I might even emerge with a summer body at the end of all of this. 8. Relax - don't put too much pressure on yourself to 'get things done'. There will be plenty of time for that over the next few weeks so don't rush it. Don't feel guilty using the time to recharge, catch up on your sleep and refresh your mind before the world starts again. These three weeks are gonna go by in a flash. Let's just stick to the rules, keep ourselves busy and hope for no more casualties. Stay safe, everyone! I'll see you on the other side.
